The story of Mary empowers us.
Mary answered him and said; "I will tell you what He hid from you." The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.
Tell us the words of the Savior that you remember and know, but we have not heard and do not know.
Peter said to Mary; "Sister we know that the Savior loved you more than all other women.
Did Jesus give Mary special and personal knowledge and teaching? Did he take Mary to be his wife? Could the couple have produced children? Gnostic theology leaves open the possibility.
The Gospel of Mary Magdalene serves to shake our concepts and assumptions of early Christianity.
She is you and me in search of God.
She represents the power of truth and love to change the life of the lowest and most powerless of us.
She is hope and triumph.
To many, she is the captive, possessed, enslaved, caught in the midst of crime and tragedy, but at once redeemed, set free, and loved by God himself.
