St. Mary Magdelene Comments

She is called "the Penitent". St. Mary was given the name 'Magdalen' because, though a Jewish girl, she lived in a Gentile town called Magdale, in northern Galilee, and her culture and manners were those of a Gentile.

    It is interesting what you say about the life of Mary after the death of Jesus and when she died but from which source did you gain this extra information?

    Saint Mary Magdalene, Most Holy Wife of Jesus, Apostle of Truth, Queen of Families and Honor of Hearts. We come to you lovingly aware of the sadness you endured during the crucifixion of our Savior and throughout time on Earth. Oh, holy woman of God help us to understand how your husband, our Savior wanted us to reconcile our Faith during the time we exist on Earth. Help us in our petitions to his most Holy Mother, Mary that she might forgive us our errors and teach us Faithfully, that we might become more worthy of teaching Her Way, as you did. Please help all Christians to look past the limitations of their own perceptions to recognize the infinite Life of Our Holy Savior Jesus. Please help us gain the wisdom needed to understand the Holy Purpose of Your Lives during our time of Earth so that we may adopt your model of Family and Community, Hope and Trust, Duty and Joy. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen
