GOD'S NATURE IS MERCY=FINDING HIM IN SAINT MARY MAGDALENE

GOD'S NATURE IS MERCY=
FINDING HIM IN SAINT MARY MAGDALENE


As Pope Francis has
Continually REMINDED us-
OVER the last few years=
GOD'S NATURE IS MERCY


And we see that=in his SON=Jesus
Particularly with his RELATIONSHIP
With Mary Magdalene=his BEST FRIEND=
And his most PRIZED student
And disciple


“SIR-if you CARRIED him away-
Tell me WHERE you laid him-
And I will TAKE HIM” John 20:15


We must REMEMBER-that-at this point
Jesus has crossed the threshold
Into death


But at NO POINT-did he lose-
HIS DIVINITY


And we MUST remember=that-
Saint Mary Magdalene was Jesus'
BEST FRIEND and disciple=and certainly
The REASON he APPEARED to her first


She knew=MORE than anyone=
At that time=that GOD'S NATURE
That Jesus' NATURE was
ONE of MERCY


And she PROVED that
In her LOYALTY for him


“Remember Lord-your GREAT MERCY
And LOVE


For they ARE from of old” Psalm 25:6


“GIVE ear-our God-and hear-
OPEN your eyes and see


The desolation of the city
That BEARS your name
We do NOT


MAKE request of you
Because we are righteous
But because


Of your great MERCY” Daniel 9:18


“But you have NEGLECTED
The more important matters
Of the law=justice-MERCY-
And faithfulness-


You SHOULD have practiced the latter
Without neglecting the former” Matthew 23:23


Mary Magdalene-was Jesus' BEST-and
Most important friend
She knew him-BETTER than
ANY SOUL whoever lived


And she KNEW Jesus-
COULD never NOT forgive someone
Who GENUINELY asked for forgiveness


GOD'S NATURE IS MERCY=and WE find it
In Jesus-in HIM-through
His RELATIONSHIP with Saint Mary Magdalene


The FAITH and LOVE of Mary Magdalene-COMPELS her
To keep saying “HIM”-even
After Jesus died-
EVEN though most gospel passages
REFER to the dead body as “it”


OUTSIDE of Jesus himself-Mary Magdalene-
IS probably the most AUTHENTIC-
The most REAL human being
Who ever LIVED
(with the POSSIBLE exception of his MOTHER-MARY)


“For my flesh is REAL food
And my blood
Is real drink” John 6:55


“As for you
The ANOINTING you received
From him-REMAINS in you
And you do NOT
Need anyone to teach you


But as anointing
TEACHES you about ALL things
And as that


Anointing is REAL-not counterfeit-
Just as it has taught you
REMAIN IN HIM” 1 John 2:27


Dear FRIENDS=
Pope Francis KNOWS of God and Jesus'
GREAT MERCY


His BEST FRIEND=Mary Magdalene=
KNEW of it too


LET us JOIN THEM-
And look for GOD'S GREAT MERCY TOO


In the name of Jesus CHRIST=
OUR LORD
