Quote/s of the Day – 22 July – Feast of St Mary of Magdala

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you, 
I have called you by name, you are mine”

Isaiah 43:1

“Mary –
the revolution of her life,
the revolution destined
to transform the existence
of every man and woman,
begins with a name
that echoes in the garden
of the empty tomb…”

“…She discovers,
the most shocking event
in human history,
when finally,
He calls her by name!”

“He knows us by name,
He watches over us,
He waits for us,
He forgives us,
He is patient with us.”

“Rise,
cease your tears,
because I have come
to free you!”

“At the time of tears
and abandonment,
she hears the Risen Jesus
who calls us by name
and, with a heart full of joy,
goes to announce – 
I have seen the Lord!”

Pope Francis
