Today is the feast of Saint Mary Magdalen. I decided today to begin to write a little each day, so that writing becomes a habit for me.
Saint Mary Magdalen is a wonderful patron for the Dominican Order, since it was she who, at the command of the Lord, preached the truth of his resurrection to the apostles. Furthermore, as she turns again and again to the Lord, she becomes a model of penitence, and of daily penance. I find her to be wonderful personal patron as well. I seem to spend my life constantly turning to the small things of religious life again and again. Above all, I need to keep turning back to prayer as a way to find a balance in life, and to develop a life which is fruitful in preaching.
Saint Mary Magdalen, pray for us.
