St. Mary Magdalene is a model disciple for all of us. Like her, we were and are capable of being great sinners in need of God's deliverance and mercy. Like her, once encountered by Jesus, our lives have changed for the better. Like her, we want to respond to Jesus' love with love. Like her, we are called to be a disciple. We may not have visually witnessed the Risen Savior, but we have experienced the many graces of the Risen Savior. Like her, we are called to be a witness to others of what God has done in our lives. With the Church we pray: "Through her intercession and example may we proclaim the living Christ and come to see him reigning in glory."
