The Feast Day of St. Mary Magdalen July 22nd

In 2016, recognizing St. Mary Magdalene’s role as the first to witness Christ's resurrection and as a "true and

authentic evangelizer," Pope Francis raised the July 22 memorial of St. Mary Magdalene to a feast on the church's

liturgical calendar.

Prayer to St. Mary Magdalen

St. Mary Magdalen, who by conversion became the beloved of Jesus, thank you for your witness that

Jesus forgives through the miracle of love.

You, who already possesses eternal happiness in His glorious presence, please intercede for me, so that someday I may share in the same everlasting joy.

Amen.

MARRIAGE MOMENTS An elderly man had just lost his wife, when a 4-year-old neighbor child saw him crying. The little boy went to the man's yard and just sat there. When the boy's mother asked him what he'd said to the neighbor, the boy answered, "Nothing, I just helped him cry." When was the last time one of you cried? S. Vogt
