Visitation of Mary!
Hello St. Mary Magdalene,
There a few highlights and special things shared in this video including the recent ordination of a young man from our parish to the diaconate on May 26,2024. He has one more year left of seminary formation until his is ordained a priest. He's the third priestly vocation from St. Mary Magdalene and there are several other young men from our parish discerning a vocation so please keep them and of our deacons, seminarians, and priests in your prayers!
Also, on the 31st of May we celebrate the feast of the visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to her cousin Elizabeth. What a beautiful story to sit with and pray over as we see Mary as the first evangelist! She's the first person to share the Good News of Christ's Incarnation and is therefore a guide for our missionary efforts! To that end, as we conclude this month of May, how can we be more Marian? Meaning, how can I bring Christ into my or someone else's life? Mary went out filled with joy and shared it with Elizabeth bringing her and the unborn infant John the Baptist into the joy of the Lord's presence. In other words, Mary always points and leads us towards Christ, how can I do this in my own way, large or small?
God bless,
Fr. Chris
