Why not join us this Sunday?
Feast of Mary Magdalene
WHO WAS MARY MAGDALENE?
The woman caught in the act of adultery, the woman who washes Jesus’ feet and one who anointed him with perfume are often thought to be the same person. They are not and a little confusion surrounds the accounts. Nevertheless, the three women mentioned had one thing in common, they were all drawn to Jesus by desire. Their way to God was the way of desire, the very opposite of what Christian legend encourages us to believe. They have not been cured of their sense of longing – their contact with Jesus has, if anything increased it. All three of them experience the deepest emotion and they all weep, as we sometimes do when overcome by the awareness of what we have lost . . . and gained.
