# A transformative experience with Christ

A healing and restoration experience took place as Jesus traveled through cities and towns, preaching and announcing the good news of the kingdom of God. The twelve apostles accompanied Him, along with several women who had been healed from evil spirits and diseases. Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; Joanna, the wife of Chuza, an official of Herod; Susanna, and many others who supported Jesus and His disciples with their resources.

The scripture illustrates Jesus' attentive regard for the needs of women and emphasizes their dignity. Mary Magdalene, often mischaracterized as possessed or sinful, was chosen by Jesus to be the first to announce His resurrection. Her life was transformed from torment caused by evil spirits to being a witness of Christ's resurrection, showcasing a significant change.

Joanna, the wife of an important official, also contributed to Jesus' ministry, demonstrating that even those in high societal positions are not excluded from the message of the Gospel. Each heart is called to receive this message, as evidenced by the inclusion of significant women in the ministry.

The text mentions several women, including those involved in various ministries, highlighting the important role of women in the church. The church's life is described as entirely ministerial, where those who experience Christ feel compelled to serve others. Everyone in the church has a vocation, and each person can contribute something to Jesus. This personal experience with Him enables them to become evangelizers.

The message encourages individuals to open their hearts and offer their contributions to God's Kingdom. A blessing from God Almighty is extended to all: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
