Happy St Mary Magdalen Day!
Chill the Krug grand cru, let the Chateau Lafite breath, garnish the sturgeon with beluga, stuff your swans with truffles, fetch the ancient port from the most neglected part of you cellar, for today is Great Maudlin's day.
If she could pour out the most costly unction over the Lord's body, then we should spare no expense to keep her feast.

Have a marvellous day, Fr Ray.
Pauperes enim semper habetis vobiscum me autem non semper habetis
I'll try and do as many as possible, Father. Happy Feast!
Happy Feast Day!
I love that picture.
Let the bubbly flow!
All good wishes and blessings from the Midlands, Father.
Prayer to St Mary Magdalene.
Saint Mary Magdalene,
woman of many sins, who by conversion
became the beloved of Jesus,
thank you for your witness
that Jesus forgives
through the miracle of love.
You, who already possess eternal happiness
in His glorious presence,
please intercede for us, so that some day
We may share in the same everlasting joy.
Amen.
Happy Feast Day,i believe widgeon helps with the flavour of the Swan!!!
Happy feast, Padre. I remembered you all at Mass.
My 14th Wedding Anniversary too!
I have all those things ... but no Bisto gravy or tomato ketchup.
Have a great day.
God bless.
Happy Feast Day, Fr. Ray. I will remember you and your parishioners in my prayers during the Mass today.
Happy Feast Day, Fr.!
Sorry to have missed it today as I understood the feast was on Sunday.
Went to Mass this morning and remembered you and your parish in particular.
Wish they'd chosen a gospel reading from Luke 8 rather than Luke 7!
As I understand in Mary Magdalen was not the woman of questionable virtue -- she was the one with 7 demons driven out! [And back then that could have meant something like epilepsy!]
I have just got a copy of Mary Magdalen, in the visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich and am looking forward to learning more about St Mary.
Have a wonderful feast day and I look forward to coming down to Brighton to see that beautiful statue.
Happy Feast, Father.
Alas no Vintage Moet Chandon in the ice bucket - will have to do with a nice chilled Chablis or Chardonnay.
Happy Feast day Fr Ray!
Fr. Ray,
If you are keeping the Office of the Octave of your Titular I could send you the proper Mattins lessons if you need them as I am fortunate to have a copy of the Octavarium Romanum.
