22nd July – Saint Mary of Magdala
The story of Mary of Magdala reminds us all of a fundamental truth. A disciple of Christ is one who, in the experience of human weakness, has had the humility to ask for his help, has been healed by him and has set out following closely after him, becoming a witness of the power of his merciful love that is stronger than sin and death - Pope Benedict XVI
Saint Mary Magdalene, woman of many sins, who by conversion became the beloved of Jesus, thank you for your witness that Jesus forgives through the miracle of love You, who already possess eternal happiness in His glorious presence, please intercede for me, so that someday I may share in the same everlasting joy.
