July 22, 2025, Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary,

Today, the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of St. Mary Magdalene, whom the Lord entrusted with announcing the great joy of the Resurrection to all others.

Known as "the Apostle to the Apostles," she came from Magdala, a fishing village on the Sea of Galilee. Christ exorcised seven demons from Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene was privileged to see the resurrected Lord beside the empty tomb, and then shared the good news with the disciples.

As we read today (John 20:1-2, 11-18), Jesus said to Mary Magdalene,

"Go to my brothers and tell them:/ I am going to my Father and your Father,/ to my God and your God."

She followed Jesus to His crucifixion and stood beside His mother and St. John at the foot of the cross on Good Friday.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
