The Feast of St. Mary Magdalene

Today is a solemnity at my parish, The Cathedral of the Madeleine. It is, after all, the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene!

Father,
your Son first entrusted to Mary Magdalene
the joyful news of his resurrection.
By her prayers and example
may we proclaim Christ as our living Lord
and one day see him in glory,
for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Sancta Maria Magdalena- ora pro nobis!
