A Letter from St. Mary of Magdala

Beloved Friends,

Thank you for celebrating my July 22nd feast day with me and helping to correct the mistaken notion of my role as repentant prostitute.  Your 10 years of organizing these celebrations has given me great joy, especially when I see so many women rising to new forms of leadership in these liturgical celebrations.

I am delighted to share my feast day with the other misunderstood and forgotten women of the Bible. Thanks for this important work that is so empowering to so many.

Remember to have faith in our Risen Rabboni who goes before us to next October’s Synod on the Word.

With love and gratitude,
Mary of Magdala!
