Video by Fr. Sean Davidson, author of the book, St. Mary Magdalene, prophetess of Eucharistic Love
In commemoration of the July 22 feast day of this patron saint of contemplatives, we have reviewed and recommend, this excellent book by Fr. Sean Davidson.
Here is a description: “Adoration is love, and Eucharistic adoration is love of Christ present in the Blessed Sacrament. In the Gospels there are few people who understand love for Jesus as well as Mary Magdalene, which is the reason she is a prophetess of Eucharistic love. This work is an extended meditation on the life of Saint Mary Magdalene, known as the ‘Apostle to the Apostles’ because the Risen Christ appeared to her first and then sent her to announce the Resurrection to the apostles. Based on the biblical texts traditionally associated with Mary Magdalene, this book helps readers to learn from her inspiring example and to enter more deeply into adoration of Jesus Christ truly present in the Blessed Sacrament… Mary Magdalene is the perfect model for those who have experienced the redeeming love of Christ and who seek to deepen their devotion to him and to the Eucharist.”
The relic of St. Mary Magdalen’s skull is venerated in southern France at the Basilica of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume which has perpetual adoration.
