St. Mary Madeline
(St. Maria Magdalena)

Friend and follower of Jesus. Filled with sorrow over her sin, she anointed Christ, washed his feet with her hair. Exorcised by Him. Visited by the Risen Christ.

When Mary Magdalen came to the tomb and did not find the Lord's body, she thought it had been taken away and so informed the disciples. After they came and saw the tomb, they too believed what Mary had told them. The text then says: "The disciples went back home," and it adds: "but Mary wept and remained standing outside the tomb."

We should reflect on Mary's attitude and the great love she felt for Christ; for though the disciples had left the tomb, she remained. She was still seeking the one she had not found, and while she sought she wept; burning with the fire of love, she longed for him who she thought had been taken away. And so it happened that the woman who stayed behind to seek Christ was the only one to see him. For perseverance is essential to any good deed, as the voice of truth tell us:
 "Whoever perseveres to the end will be saved." 
from a homily by Pope Saint Gregory the Great



Psalm 25
I wait for you, O LORD; I lift up my soul to my God.
In you I trust; do not let me be disgraced; do not let my enemies gloat over me.
No one is disgraced who waits for you, but only those who lightly break faith.
Make known to me your ways, LORD; teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior.
For you I wait all the long day, because of your goodness, LORD.
Remember your compassion and love, O LORD; for they are ages old.
Remember no more the sins of my youth; remember me only in light of your love.
Good and upright is the LORD, who shows sinners the way,
Guides the humble rightly, and teaches the humble the way.
All the paths of the LORD are faithful love toward those who honor the covenant demands.
For the sake of your name, LORD, pardon my guilt, though it is great.
Who are those who fear the LORD? God shows them the way to choose.
They live well and prosper, and their descendants inherit the land.
The counsel of the LORD belongs to the faithful; the covenant instructs them.
My eyes are ever upon the LORD, who frees my feet from the snare.
Look upon me, have pity on me, for I am alone and afflicted.
Relieve the troubles of my heart; bring me out of my distress.
Put an end to my affliction and suffering; take away all my sins.
See how many are my enemies, see how fiercely they hate me.
Preserve my life and rescue me; do not let me be disgraced, for I trust in you.
Let honesty and virtue preserve me; I wait for you, O LORD.
Redeem Israel, God, from all its distress!

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the LORD, take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the LORD!
 

Psalm 51 3-4.8-9.12-13.14.17

Have mercy on me, God, in your goodness; in your abundant compassion blot out my offense. Wash away all my guilt; from my sin cleanse me. Still, you insist on sincerity of heart; in my inmost being teach me wisdom. Cleanse me with hyssop, that I may be pure; wash me, make me whiter than snow. A clean heart create for me, God; renew in me a steadfast spirit. Do not drive me from your presence, nor take from me your holy spirit. Restore my joy in your salvation; sustain in me a willing spirit. Lord, open my lips; my mouth will proclaim your praise
