- The visions of Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich are the world's greatest source of detail on St. Mary Magdlen - great sinner, great penitent, and the second most prominent woman in the Gospels. Fully referenced to The Life of Jesus Christ (their source), these pages agree compeltely with Sacred Scripture, but also tell of Mary Magdalen's life from age 9, her extravagant attire, her second repentance after falling back into sin, her exorcism by Our Lord, His defense of her against the self-righteous, her relationship with Martha and Lazarus, her external appearance, her role at Calvary, and much more. This book provides a welcome antidote to the absurd fantasies about Mary Magdalen which periodically appear in the secular world. Besides it wealth of practical detail, it is full of enlightening spiritual insights about Our Lord's public ministry, and it is a great introduction to the four volumes, The Life of Jesus Christ and Biblical Revelations of Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich.
