Transformed by Love: The Way of Mary Magdalen

Transformed by Love: The Way of Mary Magdalen By Sister Margaret Magdalen, CSMV Mary Magdalen is often associated with the woman—described as a sinner—who anointed Jesus with costly ointment at the home of Simon the Pharisee. Drawing from Mary’s experience, Sister Margaret Magdalen shows the vital role of transformed passion as a God-given and essential part of Christian life. Each chapter is based on an aspect of Mary Magdalen’s transformation through love, but widens out to embrace life experiences that touch us all—passion, penitence, fervor, darkness in prayer, and freedom in relationships. It speaks to those who are broken in spirit, tangled in relationships, and who feel that their situation is hopeless. Review(s): “…calls us to love more passionately, to cry out our sorrow more acutely, and to integrate our brokenness more fully. It calls us to grow through love and to celebrate relationships, especially our relationship with the risen Jesus.” —Jean Vanier
