Day 3 of Novena to Saint Mary Magdalene-

 


Day 3 of Novena to Saint Mary Magdalene-

A Saint waiting in Hope: 

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope bring you such joy and peace in your faith that the power of the Holy Spirit will remove all bounds to hope.

Reflection:

As St. Augustine suggests, we are to put our hope in Jesus Christ. Therefore, let us submit ourselves to Him and beg for His mercy. Mary Magdalene had a lot of hope in Jesus, she had an optimistic outlook when she saw darkness, she could also see the light. Is this a practice we can grow accustom too? Hope is a good thing, and “where there is hope, there is faith and where there is faith miracles happen.” When we choose to trust and wait without getting angry, upset, or demanding anything everything is possible for God.  Matthew 19:26 Jesus gazed at them. ‘For men,’ he told them ‘This is impossible; for God everything is possible.’ God is our hope in dark times, in our weakest moments and in our saddest times. Women of Faith and Hope it is when we submit ourselves wholly to Christ, we become one with him and we become stronger in love, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, counsel, fear of the Lord, piety and fortitude so I leave you with this message from Jesus, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?’ John 20:11- 18. Hope, trust have the confidence to recognize and see Jesus when he comes.

Prayer:

Saint Mary Magdalene, pray for us…

You, who carried the alabaster jar of perfume, pray for us.

You, who from dark clay became purest crystal, pray for us.

Diamond, passing from the dust to the light, pray for us.

Transformed into a vessel of glory, pray for us.

Sparkling pearl, pray for us.

Blazing Torch for the whole world, pray for us.

Apostle to the Apostles, pray for us.

Sweet Advocate of Penitents, pray for us.

Amen.

May God Bless Always, Women of Faith and Hope
