St. Mary Magdalene -Patroness of UT-festivities in SLC today

Post by _madeleine »

She is also a patron Saint of converts.

Saint Mary Magdalene,
Woman of many sins, who by conversion
Became the beloved of Jesus,
Thank you for your witness
That Jesus forgives
Through the miracle of love.
You, who already possess eternal happiness
In His glorious presence,
Please intercede for me, so that some day
I may share in the same everlasting joy.


Today is her feast day! And for UT Catholics, a solemnity, so Friday abstinence is abrogated.

If you're in the SLC area: 6PM Mass in celebration of our Patroness at the Cathedral of the Madeleine (downtown SLC). Dinner and festivities afterward on the plaza ($5)...For Catholics in UT, this is the largest celebration of the summer. All are invited.
Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction -Pope Benedict XVI
