So the saint of the day is St. Mary Magdalene. Basically amazing. I mean, considering the beginning part of her life is rather speculative, as there is no concrete evidence that she was the one who was the adulteress who was almost stoned to death. That aside, I think the story of her life is fascinating. And people say that women don't have a special role in the Church?!
Three things that come to mind when I think of St. Mary Magdalene:
1) Sister Mary Magdalene, IHM. I mean, seriously, she was amazing. And witty. And just cute. She was definitely the outward expression of how my mind worked...going every which way, and then suddenly serious at the funniest moments.
2) The play, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot. I actually really loved the way she was portrayed. They did an amazing job with her character.
3) The women that were friends of Jesus. Which then makes me think of the visions of the Venerable Anne Catherine Emerich. If you ever get a chance, you should definitely read them. Utterly fascinating. The friends of Jesus...men and women...were so spectacular.
