About this episode

This episode explores the theme of recognizing one's identity through love, as illustrated by the biblical story of Mary and Jesus.

Scripture John 20:15–16 (NIV) He asked her, "Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him." Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means "Teacher"). Refrain Love speaks my name and I am found. Quote Richard Rohr, from The Universal Christ "Like Mary, we must somehow hear our name pronounced, must hear ourselves being addressed and regarded by Love, before we can recognize this Christ in our midst."
