DAILY HOMILIES #my lord

After her conversion, Mary Magdalene gave her life to Christ and became an apostle to the apostles. She represents the truth that for God, it is not your past but your potential that matters. Like St. Paul, who was once Saul, Mary Magdalene’s life shows us that God can work through anybody. It doesn’t matter what your past has been; you can become a saint if you give God a chance.

Today’s first reading comes from the Song of Solomon, a book about married love. This reading depicts Mary Magdalene’s love for Jesus. When the others deserted Jesus at his arrest and crucifixion, Mary Magdalene was one of those who stood beside the cross. Do I stick to my faith (remain with Jesus) even in moments of suffering and pain?
