On the Feast of Mary Magdalene go to Communion for me, praying that great, holy penitent to ask from our loving Redeemer to grant me true compunction of heart so that I may melt, turn to water, liquify all my tears of love and sorrow for the grave offenses committed against my good God. (Letter 324)
The loving penitent Saint Mary Magdalene, in seeing the gentle Jesus, fell at his feet out of love. O sweet fall! There she loved and was silent, and listened to the holy words of Jesus, and burned with love. Love speaks more with silence than with the tongue. (Letter 1049)
The Rector of San Angelo writes me that the bishop there and the officials of Corneto have changed their minds on the site for the location of the Retreat. I would want it to be on the site where years ago I stopped to recite the Litany of Saint Mary Magdalene, Penitent, to whom I still desire, if that is satisfactory to the bishop, to dedicate this new Retreat. (Letter 1532)
On Calvary there were only Mary Most Holy, Saint John and Saint Mary Magdalene, that is to say, the souls that were true lovers of Christ. (Letter 2052)
