St. Mary Magdalene (22 July): She Love Much Because She was Forgiven Much

About this sermon

St. Mary Magdalene remains one of the most beloved saints in the history of the Catholic Church because her life is the greatest testimony to the transforming power of God's mercy. In this homily, we explore why Mary Magdalene is called the Apostle to the Apostles, her profound repentance, her unwavering love for Christ, and the ancient Christian tradition that identifies her as the sinful woman forgiven by Our Lord. We also examine the writings of Pope St. Gregory the Great, the Church Fathers, and the traditions surrounding her missionary work in southern France after Christ's Ascension. Far from being a story of shame, Mary Magdalene's life is the story of hope for every sinner. The greater our sins, the greater God's mercy when we truly repent. If you've ever struggled with sin, discouragement, scrupulosity, or wondered whether God can forgive you, this sermon is for you.
