St. Mary Magdalene (22 July): the Sister of Lazarus

About this sermon

Who was St. Mary Magdalene according to the ancient Catholic tradition? Were Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany, and the repentant woman of Luke 7 actually the same person? In this traditional Catholic sermon, the ancient testimony of the Latin Fathers, the Roman Breviary, and centuries of Catholic tradition are explored to explain why the Western Church has long identified these women as one saint. Learn about the rich tradition of St. Mary Magdalene's life of penance in Provence, France, her years in the cave of La Sainte-Baume, her relics, and the spiritual lesson Our Lord gives through His words: "Mary hath chosen the best part." This sermon also reflects on the difference between the active and contemplative life, reminding Catholics that while daily duties are important, Christ desires above all our hearts and our time spent with Him in prayer. Whether you're studying Catholic tradition, the lives of the saints, or seeking a deeper interior life, this sermon offers timeless wisdom rooted in the heritage of the Church.
