Welcome to a very special summer break episode of Caritas Christi – Weekly Scripture Reflections with Dr. Nina Heereman, professor of Sacred Scripture at St. Patrick’s Seminary and University in Menlo Park, California. Filmed on location in Magdala on the Sea of Galilee, Dr. Heereman shares a powerful reflection in preparation for the Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene (celebrated on July 22nd), which Pope Francis elevated to a Solemnity, honoring her as the "Apostle of the Apostles." Why did the risen Lord choose to appear first to a woman once possessed by seven demons, rather than His immaculate mother? Diving deep into the beautiful mosaics of Magdala, the Old Testament imagery of the Garden of Eden, the Song of Songs, and the Ark of the Covenant, this episode uncovers the breathtaking depth of God's mercy and the reality of the New Creation. If this reflection blesses your faith, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear the message of God's radical mercy today!
