Saint Mary Magdalene, apostle, July 22

Alleluia
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
 Tell us Mary, what did you see on the way?
 I saw the glory of the risen Christ, I saw his empty tomb.
 R. Alleluia, alleluia.

The "apostle to the apostles"—that’s Mary Magdalene. Despite all the attempts by early church fathers to connect her to the “adulterous woman,” Mary Magdalene is the first to see the Risen Lord. Of course, at first she thought he was the gardener (!), until he called her by name, and she recognized him, and then he gave her the apostolic mission to “go and tell” the others. Mary Magdalene still proclaims: “I saw the glory of the risen Christ, I saw his empty tomb.”
