Sermon From The
9th Sunday After Pentecost 2013 – 10am Mass
Tomorrow is the feast of the great penitent, St. Mary Magdalen. Early in life she fell into sin which made her like Satan. However, Our Lord’s love frees us from sin. Some, like the Pharisees, rejected His love. Even mortal sins can be forgiven by a perfect act of contrition. The Blessed Mother will help us as St. Mary Magdalen discovered. Christ praised our saint for choosing the better way in contemplation and giving all as shown by her anointing Him with oil. After the Epistle and Gospel follows an instruction on the priesthood and religious life which stresses the importance of zeal for the commandments as expressed through the vows so thereby we lay up treasures in heaven.
