July 22nd - Mary Magdalene By: Dhanya Jose

Mary Magdalene was a very beautiful lady. Everyone paid her a lot of compliments. Her pride was that she forgot that God gave her all that beauty. She wanted to be popular. One day, she saw  Jesus Christ and  He looked at her and showed her how sorry He was for her sin.  She realized her sin and decided to follow Jesus. She knelt at His feet and washed His feet with her tears, she then wiped them with her hair and covered them with perfume. She did all this to show how sorry she was for her sins. After her realization, she loved only Jesus. She never sinned again and she stayed every moment with Him during crucifixion and was the first to witness his resurrection.

INTERCESSORY PRAYER 
O Lord, help us to be like St. Mary Magdalene, a woman of many sins, to realize our sins and turn back to you. Help us to love Jesus as she did and dedicate our lives to you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
