Prayers
to St. Mary Magdalene
 to O Lord, I Am
Not Worthy
O
God, when others were ready to condemn Mary
Magdalene,
Jesus accepted her with all her imperfections.
She in turn accepted Your Son as her Saviour.
It was to St. Mary Magdalene, before all others,
that Jesus committed the message of Easter joy.
Through her intercession, may we proclaim Christ
as our living Lord and one day contemplate Him
reigning in glory.
Amen.

Lord, make our offerings acceptable to Thee,
for Thine only-begotten Son vouchsafed
graciously to accept the humble service she
rendered. We ask this through Him Who liveth
and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost,
God forever and ever. Amen.
May
the prayers of blessed Mary Magdalene help
us, O Lord, for it was in answer to them that
Thou didst call her brother Lazarus, four
days after death, back from the grave to
life, Who livest and reignest with the Father
and the Holy Ghost, Unity in Trinity, world
without end. Amen.

Reading
There seems to be a
lot more confusion about St. Mary Magdalene
since the release of the book, "The Da
Vinci Code." Because it is a work of
FICTION and it has not necessarily been
marketed as such, nor read and interpreted as
such by many readers, I want to include some
resources here that will refute and prove
through historical resources that the story
line and details are completely inaccurate.
 De-Coding the DaVinci
Code Study Guide (in .pdf format)
There are
several books written on this subject of
"fact and fiction" in "The Da
Vinci Code." However, I've only included
these two resources because they are
published by Catholic presses, so I know that
the information in them will not go against
the Magesterium of the Catholic Church. I
suggest you use discernment if you purchase
books from other publishers. The first book
is published by Our Sunday Visitor, and the
second by Ignatius Press.
