Life of St. Mary Magdalen - Translated From the Italian #232453

If on earth Magdalen was so dear a friend and com panion to the sweet Mother of jesus, why should she not be just as Intrmately united to her in heaven, resplen dent With that glory which her Saviour has thrown around her whose sins He forgave, whom He honored with His friendship because she loved much? If so sharp and pro tracted, after her sins had been forgiven, was dear Mary Magdalen's earthly penance above that of any other woman, why, on the other hand, and in view of jesus' deep, personal friendship for this singularly holy penitent why, I say, should not her glory, her lofty dignity, and her heavenly consolation surpass that of all others save Heaven's S'inless Queen?
