ST. Thomas Aquinas, whose scholarly and deeply spiritual writings guide a great many Roman Catholic doctrines, customs and traditions, called St. Mary Magdalene the Apostle of the Apostles.

Those of us who have a devotion to this saint, because she is a good example of the search for God at every moment, will be pleased to know that Pope Francis has raised the liturgical commemoration (or the Holy Mass, in less technical vocabulary) for Mary every July 22 from what is now just a “memorial” to the level of a “feast” just like the feast days of each of the Holy Apostles.
