On this Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, we commemorate a woman of profound faith and unwavering devotion. Once a sinner transformed by grace, she became the first witness to the Resurrection and a courageous bearer of the Good News. May her example lead us to deeper repentance, steadfast discipleship, and a greater love for Christ.

Saint Mary Magdalene, woman of many sins, who by conversion became the beloved of Jesus and remained at His cross, 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 one day I may share in the same everlasting joy. Amen.
