Today is the Double feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, Penitent or Mary of Magdala and sometimes The Magdalene. Todays liturgical colour is White. Today, we ponder on the Sorrowful Mysteries. In keeping His commandments and laws, O holy Mary Magdalene, You followed Christ, who for our sake was born of a virgin, And in celebrating your most holy memory today, We receive forgiveness of sins by your prayers! Good Jesus, Saint Mary Magdalene was one of the women who assisted You and the apostles during Your public ministry. She cried with the Blessed Mother and Saint John at the foot of Your cross, and she helped to bury Your dead body. For serving You with such devotion, she was the first to see You resurrected. I ask her to pray for me when I have opportunities to assist others as they approach death or grieve the death of loved ones. Inspire me, O God, in giving them Your comfort, in helping them accept salvation, and in guiding the survivors to release their loved ones into Your arms. Saint Mary Magdalene, pray for us. Amen.
