Happy feast day to St. Mary Magdalene!
As we honor St. Mary Magdalene, we especially celebrate God’s unlimited mercy. The encounter with Jesus changed Mary’s life forever. Jesus did not hesitate to associate Himself with this woman who was delivered from seven demons. Similarly, Jesus never hesitates to unite Himself with anyone who sincerely repents of their sins, regardless of their past actions. Mary’s life also tells us that there is hope for everyone. Before her transformation, many who knew her might have easily dismissed her as hopeless. Jesus didn’t do that with her, and He doesn’t do so with anyone.
St. Mary Magdalene, help us to look inward at our own sinfulness and help us to know that freedom from these sins are possible! St. Mary Magdalene, pray for us! #archdioceseofmobile #catholicchurch #catholicfaith #catholic #catholiclife #catholicsaints
