From the Religious Education Coordinator

Thursday, 22 July is the feast of St Mary Magdalene. From what has been written in the Bible, we know that she was a woman from Magdala, a small fishing town in Galilee, a female disciple of Jesus and was the first witness to Jesus’ resurrection. 

There has been much speculation regarding the life and circumstances of Mary Magdalene. What we do know is that her love and belief in Jesus, even after witnessing his crucifixion, was so great that she attended his tomb to anoint his body. Two thousand years ago, Mary Magdalene was told by the risen Jesus to “go and tell”. Her words “I have seen the Lord!” (John 20:18) are a declaration to others of her great faith and personal witness. 

May we too be willing to see Jesus through new eyes while under current restrictions. While we are separated by distance, we are united through faith.

The Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney has links to live streaming of Masses, prayer resources and other activities in the Archdiocese. 

Many blessings for the days ahead.
