Saying Goodbye

Molly posted an article on - Aug 13, 2010, 8:43 pm
When I first created "Faith Of A Convert" it was a way to help me learn more about my Catholic faith and to help strengthen that faith in me as well as others. In the 2 and a half years I've been doing this blog I have definitely grown in many ways. I've been wanting to create a place for me to shar...

St. Mary Magdalene

Molly posted an article on - Jul 22, 2010, 12:02 pm
She is called "the Penitent". St. Mary was given the name 'Magdalen' because, though a Jewish girl, she lived in a Gentile town called Magdale, in northern Galilee, and her culture and manners were those of a Gentile. St. Luke records that she was a notorious sinner, and had seven devils removed fr...
