SAINT MARY MAGDALENE, APOSTLE TO THE APOSTLES
Mark 16:9 tells us that Mary was the first to whom the risen Christ appeared. She was one of his disciples, accompanied him on his journeys through the villages preaching (Luke 8:3), and stood by the cross.

PRAYER:
Father,
your Son first entrusted to Mary Magdalene
the joyful news of his resurrection.
By her prayers and example
may we proclaim Christ as our living Lord
and one day see him in glory,
for he lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
