Visit to the Tomb of St. Mary Magdalene

 

On July 11 we traveled to Saint Maximin where we attended Mass at the Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene. We were able to visit the tomb of St. Mary Magdalene. There was also a relic from her in the church, which was her skull.

In a special way I prayed for all the members of the Children's Rosary and all who helped the Children's Rosary. The image at the top of the post depicts Mary Magdalene in the cave that in which she spent thirty years in prayer and contemplation. Asher also purchased a little booklet with a novena to St. Mary Magdalene in French which he has been praying in anticipation of her Feast on July 22. 

Fr. Florian Racine, the Rector of the Basilica, was a wonderful host. We had an opportunity for Adoration and Mass the following day.
