How were you drawn to Mary Magdalene?

From a very early age, I began to pray quite simply because I wanted to.

My father was a Catholic, so he taught me how to, and he had what I would call a great love for Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

And so my own Indiana Jones journey began and just trying to figure out her sacred places.

So I've been snatched.

All I can do is embed myself further, which I am now finally surrendered to.

And create a beacon for other people to come and find sanctuary and find her in.

Gosh, absolutely.

I feel as if every part of me is in service to her, to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit.

In our age, in our age, our language, our storytelling, our transmission of the grace, free of religion, free of dogma, free of conscription.
