"I will seek Him Whom my heart loves." -
Song of Songs 3:2
"Yes, I am happy, perfectly happy; and do you wish to know where I find
true happiness? At the feet of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
…
I would strongly urge that, even as the Magdalene anointed the Lord’s feet with tears and perfumed oil, you too would pour out the perfume of constant prayer and contemplation at the foot of the tabernacle. I should like the Eucharist to become a burning flame for your soul, so that, immersed in that flame, it might emerge burning with love and great-heartedness.
I should like to see this Eucharistic altar, on which Jesus is
sacrificed, accept your offering too, so that you may become
a victim of love, whose perfume rises to the throne of the Eternal
God!"
Fr Augustine Mary of the Most Blessed Sacrament
Carmelite priest
(1821-1871)

“The
story of Mary of Magdala reminds us all of a fundamental truth. A disciple of Christ is one who, in the experience of human
weakness, has had the humility to ask for His help,
has been healed by Him and has set out following closely after Him, becoming a witness of the power of His merciful love that is stronger
than sin and death.” – Pope Benedict XVI
St Mary Magdalene, pray for
us!
