Mary’s life was forever changed when Jesus cast seven devils out from her; from that point on, she became His ardent and loyal follower. Even when Jesus was ostracized and left to die on the cross, Mary stood by Him. After Jesus died, Mary was the first to see He had been resurrected. In art, Mary is often portrayed waiting at the foot of Jesus’ cross. We should all honor Mary Magdalene, patroness of hair stylists, perfumers, and repentant sinners.

A Doctor of the Church, Saint Teresa of Avila is one of only 4 women to be decreed the honor. More concrete evidence of the handicap women have had in the Catholic Church! Fortunately, Pope Francis is also following a forward thinking path about expanding women's roles in the church, listening, and is also, working diligently to “Build a Bigger Tent,” and become radically inclusive, and not exclusive.

Many wear our Sacred Heart of Jesus as fashionary. You’ll see it in many artistic renditions, paintings, ceramics, stones and gems. Is it Sacrilegious to wear the Sacred Heart of Jesus as a “fashion statement?” We make no judgment. Its beauty, religious or otherwise, speaks for itself.
