Today is the memorial observation of Saint Mary Magdalene. History has not done her a favor. She is remembered in ways that may not reflect the truth of her life. Like many powerful women in her time, there was every effort made to diminish her.
She is the patron saint of the penitent. Any of us who have been so humbled in our life as to recognize that we are in need of assistance fall under her potential graces. Certainly, I have turned to her repeatedly. In doing so, the atonement she experienced is extended to each one of us.
What assistance are you in need of? Are you willing to humble yourself enough to ask? Ki to Happiness recognizes the need for assistance daily…. and sometimes nightly, too.
