I am starting my classes in RCIA and I have been praying about making Mary Magdalene my saint. Her devotion to Christ and others is truly inspiring to me. Thank you for this teaching on her!
If you think you are a very bad sinner, learn from this Saint.. Jesus is really saying, "come to me as you are, I want your love, and you'll have mine".. thank you...🎉🎉🎉
I always pray that I become a successful Catholic Social Media Influencer to spread the teachings and Revelations of the Catholic Church and the entire Christendom. I hope and pray the Devotion to the Eucharist and the Holy Souls in Purgatory helps me.
As someone who subscribes to the traditional view that St. James the Apostle son of Alphaeus and St. James the Just were one and the same, I was never as sure of the tradition of St. Mary of Magdala being one and the same as St. Mary of Bethany, but it definitely does sound more compelling and coherent. I'd love to see more videos on the arguments in depth. Especially since even the big Catholic apologists like Jimmy Akin and Trent Horn seem to lean more to the more modern views on these two.
Question: This may be an ignorant question because I know its just a show, but in the Chosen Mary Magdalene is depicted as an only child and there is another Mary who is the sister of Martha and Lazarus. Can someone explain which is correct, and where in scripture it points to Lazarus and Martha as Mary Magdalene's siblings? Thank you for clarifying.
Appendixed in the collected Mary Magdalene entries excerpted out of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich's 4-volume Life of Christ (published by TAN), there is a 5-page essay by the Dominican biblical scholar Very Reverend Hugh Pope O.P. (1869-1946) citing the key scriptural clues and the detective hand that reveals how this one bible Mary is a) the Magdalene b) the woman who anointed Christ's feet in the house of Simon the Pharisee, and c) the sister of Martha & Lazarus. Fr Pope lays it out persuasively. The key sentence of the essay: “By Luke alone, the ‘sinner’ Mary Magdalen and Mary of Bethany cannot be confirmed co-identical. John (11:2) identifies Mary of Bethany with the woman who anointed Jesus’ feet.” This is the link. This is not a recent nor novel view. It has been known in the Catholic Church since the time of Gregory the Great (!) and re-investigated/re-confirmed by the Bollandists beginning in the 17th century. Two independent post-biblical catholic private revelations from two different centuries (19th & 20th) rich with life of Magdalene details, turn out to confirm this exact picture. The other is Maria Valtorta's "Gospel" called the Poem of the Man-God. Too many serious catholics have dispensed with Valtorta's marvel for weak reasons. But at this point the scholarly investigations that have taken apart just about all of the incidental 1st century 'data' that appears in this revelation (See Stephen Austin's 1000+ page research document and the magisterial assessment made by Jean-Francois Lavere's The Valtorta Enigma) have shown with greatly convincing evidence that these texts are not (even remotely) fictions or fabrications. Lavere examined 12,000 pieces of individual data in the Poem and compared it with the known historical scientific/archaelogical record, including new findings come to light since Valtorta's death in 1961 and arrived at an astonishing accuracy rate of 99%. Valtorta never left her bedroom and had only a bible and catechism on her bookshelf. If it's a false revelation, someone has to come up with an alternate theory of these super-abundant accuracies. It's far easier to conclude that Grace has been at work. ~~ My guess is there are no credentialed catholic mystical theologians among the scriptwriters of the Chosen and are thus unaware of the profoundly rich catholic archive on this topic. Just like Zeffereli's imperfect film Jesus of Nazareth (1976?), they have very likely taken large creative liberties with filling out unknowns. ~~ The much more mysterious question is why did Providence render the New Testament with unclarity about Mary of Magdala. The reason could be that Heaven saw fit to make the matter known at the time proper for it - the end times - which we are now in...

Mary betrayed Christ and all the Apostles and the early church.
She is a very good example to all of us today, from a dark past to a glorious life. St Magdalene pray for us.

Hello Clem! Thank you for making this content and posting it. I enjoyed listening to you and the important points that you make.

Well done Clem Harold🎉
