St. Mary Magdalene is one of the greatest saints of the Bible and a legendary example of God's mercy and grace. She is mentioned at least a dozen times in the Gospels. The Gospels agree that Mary was originally a great sinner. Jesus cast seven demons out of her when he met her. After this, she told several women she associated with and these women also became followers.


After the death of Christ, a legend states that she remained among the early Christians. After fourteen years, she was allegedly put into a boat by Jews, along with several other saints of the early Church, and set adrift without sails or oars. The boat landed in southern France, where she spent the remaining years of her life living in solitude, in a cave.


St. Magdalene please pray for us to resist the temptations of our flesh.


Patroness of: Converts, repentant sinners, sexual temptation, pharmacists, tanners and women, and many other places and causes.
