Saint of the day
Feast
St Mary Magdalene
Healed of seven demons and made a disciple, she stood at the Cross, watched the burial, and met the risen Lord first. He sent her to tell the apostles: the apostle to the apostles.
Saint Mary Magdalene, first witness of the Resurrection, give us your fierce devotion.
A feast ranks below a solemnity and above a memorial.
About Ordinary Time
Ordinary Time is the Church's ordered counting of weeks — 'ordinal', not 'ordinary' in the sense of plain. It falls in two stretches, after the Christmas season and after Pentecost, and it is where most of the Gospel is read straight through, Sunday by Sunday.
Why white?
White is worn at Christmas and Easter, and on feasts of the Lord, Mary, and saints who were not martyred. It is the color of joy and of light.
Verse of the day
Mark 10:27
