St. Mary Magdalene
Day 1
July 22nd.
-
O model of penitents, glorious St. Magdalene, who, when touched by grace, instantly renounced all the pleasures of the world to consecrate yourself to the love of Jesus Christ: obtain for us that we may worthily correspond to the Divine inspirations. Gloria.
-
O model of penitents, glorious St. Magdalene, who, treading at once all human respect underfoot, made your appearance in an humble dress, the very reverse of that which you had exhibited in days of your luxury and vanity: obtain for me, I pray, the grace to vanquish all the obstacles which I shall meet in the way of salvation, and most especially that human respect through which I have so often violated my sacred duties, and neglected my most important interests. Gloria.
-
O model of penitents, glorious St. Magdalene, who, by weeping over your errors with the most bitter tears, and most heartfelt contrition, merited to hear from the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself that you were entirely forgiven: obtain for me, I pray, the grace to hate all my sins, and to weep continually over them, that so I may receive remission for them at the tribunal of God. Gloria.
-
O model of penitents, glorious St. Magdalene, who, after having been suddenly converted to Jesus Christ, made it your constant duty and glory to accompany Him in all His journeyings, to hear His discourses, and to serve Him in His necessities: obtain for me that I may find my greatest consolation in assisting at the divine mysteries, in receiving the most holy Sacraments, in listening to the divine words, and in succouring the poor, who are the most lively images of Jesus Christ. Gloria.
-
O model of penitents, glorious St. Magdalene, who didst not abandon Jesus Christ, even when He was nailed and expired in agony on the gibbet of the cross: obtain for me, I pray, the grace to persevere faithfully in the divine service, even amidst the desolations, the sufferings, the adversities, and the persecutions by which it may please God to prove me. Gloria.
-
O model of penitents, glorious St. Magdalene, who, in reward for your faith and love, wast consoled by a visit from your risen Master, who distinguished you among His disciples by His first appearance: obtain for me, I pray, the grace to lead so pure and holy a life, that I may merit after death the beatific vision of my Lord in the kingdom of His glory. Gloria.
-
O model of penitents, glorious St. Magdalene, who, though assured of the pardon of your sins, ceased not during your whole life to weep for them with continual fastings and austerities; by which you merited to be visited by angels, and to be assisted by them in your last passage, and conveyed to Paradise: obtain for me, I pray, the grace never to relent in the practice of penance, so necessary for my salvation, that I may secure the peace of the just in death, and the blessedness of the Saints in eternity. Gloria.
