July 22, 2023: Feast of St. Mary Magdalene

St. Mary Magdalene knew the power of God's love in her life.

First, Christ cast multiple demons from her.

She devoted her life to serving Christ.

And she was given the honor of being the first witness to the reality of the Resurrection at the Empty Tomb on that first Easter Sunday morning.  At a time when a woman's testimony wasn't valid in court, God gave her the important role of announcing that Christ had conquered death victoriously.

This reality impacts all of us, even as Christ brings healing to each of us individually.  As healed and redeemed people, we follow in the way of St. Mary Magdalene and announce the Good News that lives in us.
