Passage from Life Of St Mary Magdalen
Mary Magdalen hearkened to the words of Christ and
was converted to a better life. She did not wait for the
morrow, but as soon as she felt that her heart had been
touched by divine grace, she rose up at once, and sought
Him who alone could heal the wounds of her soul, and
bring comfort to a heart that now so earnestly yearned for
it. She was the first penitent who went to Jesus for the
forgiveness of her sins. She finds Him at the house of
Simon the Pharisee, pays no heed to the presence of the
guests who were there, but with the sole thought that He
alone could cure her, she throws herself at His feet, bedews
them with tears of penitential love, wipes them
with her luxuriant hair, and silently awaits from the lips
of Jesus those tender words of forgiveness which she
knows He will pronounce over her. Many sins are forgiven
her, because she loved much.
