MARY MAGDALENE
Outside of Jesus’ own mother
Mary Magdalene was probably
Jesus’ BEST FRIEND
She is often called
THE APOSTLE TO THE APOSTLES
Because he appeared to her first
And she carried to the news
To the rest of the men
Mary said to the gardener
NOT KNOWING he was Jesus,
“Sir, if you carried him away
Tell me where you have put him
And I will get him”
John 20:15
The gardener then said, “Mary”
Mary then turned toward him
And cried out, “Rabboni,” which means Teacher John 20:16
She then went to tell the others
The news,
“I have seen the Lord”
John 20:18
Jesus had been Mary’s teacher
About the Word of God
And it is said,
He cast out, “seven demons” from her
She may have been the sister
To Martha of Bethany and Lazarus
And anointed Christ’s feet
It is known
That she was present
At the crucifixion of Jesus
Along with his mother, the BELOVED disciple,
And some other women
She is
Considered to be
The patron Saint of repentant sinners
And of the contemplative life
May we FIND PEACE in Christ
As our sister, Mary Magdalene, did
The feast day of Saint Mary
Magdalene is July 22nd

Ps CONTRARY to
popular fiction in the modern day world-Mary Magdalene
Was NOT
JESUS’ wife-NOT his girlfriend-and definitely NOT the mother
Of his
baby
SHE was
HIS CLOSE friend-perhaps HIS BEST FRIEND because of
The
healing he had done in her-AND SHE BELIEVED IN HIM-perhaps
The REASON
WHY he appeared to her first
