  1. A Story - Mary Magdalen

    Share Share Post
    Long ago it was said that Mary Magdalen was very bad and that she used to follow every person everyplace.
    One day she went into the church and Our Lord would not let her in but afterwards she turned to the Catholic faith and often was let in to the church.

    I got this story from my mother, Brigid Naughton who is 58 years of age.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
