JC - Chapter 37

I have always held the opinion that after death, if one had one opportunity to visit another on earth, it would be the one most loved, and in my case, my wife.  For some reason, the Savior chose for His first visit, Mary of Magdala or better known, Mary Magdalene.  It was to her, He approached -

"...Woman, why weepest thou?..."  (New Testament | John 20:13)

And then upon her answer -

"...Mary..."  (New Testament | John 20:16)

Does that not sound as personal as it could possibly be.

Elder Talmage provided the following note -
