Fr. Sean Davidson offers one of the best books I've encountered on St. Mary Magdalene. More than a biography of the person, Fr. Davidson reflects on the heart of the one known as the "Apostle to the Apostles." "Saint Mary Magdalene: Prophetess of Eucharistic Love," based on the Biblical texts traditionally associated with St. Mary Magdalene, this book shines a beautiful bright light on her love for Jesus and how it translates to the devotion of Eucharistic Adoration. A truly excellent work which we highly recommend!
