Feast of Mary Magdalene

We know that Mary Magdalene had a special relationship with Jesus. He appeared to her on the morning of that first Easter Sunday. She had run to the tomb with other women to anoint the body of Jesus. They did not think of how that would even be possible because of the large stone blocking the entrance and the guards. However, they found the stone had been rolled back and Jesus was not in the tomb. Mary was desolate. She was weeping. It was only when Jesus said her name that she recognized Him. He sent her to tell the Apostles that He had indeed risen as He had said. She was, then, an apostle to the Apostles!
