December 27 - Feast of Saint John, Apostle and evangelist

The First to Tell

Mary Magdalene has been given a bad name by history. In actuality, she is best known as the Apostle to the Apostles. She is the one who first carried the Good News of the Resurrection to the Apostles. She ran with the joy, confusion, and hope of the miracle she had witnessed. She gave voice for the first time to the hope of eternal life.

Through her words, Peter and John ran, saw, and believed. Due to his belief, the Apostle John became the source of today's readings and feast. He and those who followed his spirituality offer us the beauty of the first reading and the power of the Gospel of John.

May you have the strength, joy, and hope of Mary Magdalene.

May you share the Good News with others as Mary and John did.
