Today is the Feast of Mary Magdalene
Hooray for Magdalena. Here's New Advent's 411 on her.
Mary Magdalene is a follower of Jesus--symbolic of all of us who strive to follow him. Her moment of great joy at the resurrection of Jesus is tempered by a command to spread the news, not unlike the experience of the transfiguration for the apostles was tempered by the command to go back down the mountain. - Michael Dubruiel
