Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene

1st Reading:  A lovely reading because of Mary's longing to see Jesus at the tomb

Alternative 1st Reading:  Mary was overwhelmed by the love of Jesus ...so much so that she, like Jesus' mother, put her life on the line by staying by Jesus' cross....a dangerous thing for a friend of the condemned Jesus to do

Responsorial Psalm:  Mary "thirsted" for Jesus' presence on Easter Sunday morning ...and previously, as at Calvary

Gospel:  Jesus sent ("apostled") Mary to tell the apostles that he had risen
...which is why Mary is called "the apostle of the apostles"

Reflection: Mary of Magdala - Apostle to the Apostles

Prayer:
Jesus, please help me be an apostle - by helping others know and love you
