May 25: Saint Mary Magdalene de Pazzi, Virgin—Optional Memorial
1566–1607
Patron Saint of the sick
Canonized by Pope Clement IX on April 28, 1669
Liturgical Color: White
Quote:
Self-love is like the worm that gnaws at the root and destroys not only the fruit, but even the very life of the plant. The traitor that we have to fear most is self-love, for self-love betrays us as Judas betrayed our Lord with a kiss. He who conquers self-love conquers all. ~Saint Mary Magdalene de Pazzi
Prayer:
Saint Mary Magdalene de Pizza, you were wise beyond what any book could teach. You came to know the deepest truths of God and life through your free embrace of every suffering for the love of God. Please pray for me, that I may love God as you loved Him, and be devoted to Him as you were devoted. May my life become a living sacrifice of love, poured out for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. Saint Mary Magdalene de Pizza, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
