In this interview, Fr. David Gunter, MIC, shares insights into first-century Judaism and the similarities to today.

There’s a surprising similarity between reported near-death experiences and Marian Apparitions. What could a moment between life and death possibly have in common with visions of Our Lady? Father Daniel Klimeck explains.

Is St. Mary Magdalene the same person as St. Mary of Bethany, the sister of St. Lazarus and St. Martha? Is she the same person as the penitent woman in Luke 7:36-50? In 2021, Pope Francis added the names of Mary of Bethany and Lazarus to the July 29 memorial of St. Martha, making it a liturgical celebration of all three family members. Does this change the Church's traditional understanding of who Mary Magdalene was, whose feast day is celebrated on July 22? Listen to Fr. Matthew Tomeny, MIC explain what we know about St. Mary Magdalene according to the prayers of the Church.
