Taken together, the biblical texts and later gnostic literature carry the memory of Mary Magdalene as a powerfully faithful disciple of Jesus and courageous witness to his life and destiny, a founding church mother, wise woman, revealer and teacher, interpreter of Jesus' message in the early church, a woman friend of God. First, if a person has committed a mortal sin and has repented of it by an act of perfect contrition, and thus become again a friend of God, that person should still not, under penalty of grave sin, receive Communion without first having gone to Confession (#1415). By turns, she is the converted sinner, the contemplative friend of God, or the weeper (the very word "maudlin" is a relic of that latter emphasis). |
