St. Mary Magdalene
JULY 22
FIRST AGE
THE illustrious penitent woman mentioned by St. Luke, was, by her perfect conversion, an encouraging example and model of penitence to all succeeding ages. She is called the Sinner, to express her preeminence in guilt. This epithet seems to imply that she led a lewd and disorderly life. The scandal of her debaucheries had rendered her name infamous throughout the whole city, Naim Tiberias, or some neighboring place in Galilee, seems to have been the chief theater of her disorders, at least at the time of her conversion. They took their rise from small beginnings; for no one becomes a great proficient in vice all at once. The fences of virtue are weakened by degrees before they are entirely broken down.

To God there is no bigger/ badder sinner. If you murder 10 people and I steal a pack of gum we both face the same judgement. Only Jesus blood can take the sins of anyone that trust him. If you know this and want the answer to your question Saint Paul

St. Camillus was a streetfighter in his youth. He was a very large man with a violent temper. He drank, gambled, chased women, fought, and eventually lost all of his money to huge gambling debts. But he converted, and became a famous builder and organizer of hospitals. He worked tirelessly to help the poor. There is quite a bit of historical documentation on him, and his contemporaries regarded him as an amazing humanitarian.
