May
my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting
up
of my hands be like the
evening sacrifice. - Psalm 141:2
"St Mary Magdalene seeks the Lord, and when she find Him, she adores Him ...
Adoration takes first place. Mary Magdalene reminds us of the need to recover
the primacy of adoration in the life of the Church and in the liturgical celebration."
- Cardinal Robert Sarah, Essay on Saint Mary Magdalene

"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!"

Remembering...
St
Mary Magdalene
Disciple
of Jesus
"Apostle
to the Apostles"
Feast
Day – July 22
“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
