“The Magdalene, most of all, is the model 
I like to follow. That boldness of hers, which would be so amazing if it weren’t the boldness of a lover, won the heart of Jesus, and how it fascinates mine!” ~St. Therese of Lisieux
For Reflection:
In what specific way can I, like Mary Magdalene, “boldly” show my love for Jesus today? When I do, I will thank “the Magdalene” for her good example.

"Perhaps at no other time in the history of the Church has there been a greater need for a clear, cogent understanding of the authority of the female person and from whence it derives. In her work, Dr. Monica Migliorino Miller cuts through the chimera put forth by the culture of the day and reveals the source of woman's influence, effect, and power, and why woman can "aid humanity in not falling" and "save the peace of the world."
