July 22: Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene

O God, whose Only Begotten Son 
entrusted Mary Magdalene before all others 
with announcing the great joy of the Resurrection, 
grant, we pray,
that through her intercession and example 
we may proclaim the living Christ 
and come to see him reigning in your glory.
Who lives and reigns with you 
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

(Collect for July 22, Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene)
