Hi there, from what I've read, the Latin Church Fathers held that Mary the sister of Lazarus and Mary Magdalene, were one and the same woman. The Greek Fathers, on the other hand, supported the tradition that they were three distinct women (as you add the "sinful woman" into the mix). A good article on new advent dot com will specify the details. From that well-researched article, one would more reasonably side with the Latin Fathers. This being the case, a beautiful story of discipleship emerges through the life of St Mary Magdalene, one which can be held as a prototype for each of us. Have a look and God bless you on your journey.

Brendan Hoban: Gratuitous violence is at the heart of the ‘Banshees’
March 26 2023

The miniature donkey deserved an oscar - for patient self-sacrifice in the service of a miserable plot. No one could ever believe it had choked on Brendan Gleeson’s fingers, dedicated vegetarian that it obviously was. It was faking it, to bring the whole impossible enterprise to an end, so that the film crew could get out of the rain and into the pub. The Quiet Girl towered above that nonsense, attentive as it was to the deepest poignancies of family life in rural Ireland. Catherine Clinch, the wee girl who out-acted the big-budget actors of the ‘Banshees’, should at least have been awarded the recovered miniature donkey. They were obviously made for one another.

A couple of comments on T Benedicta’s reflection: So often, Mary of Bethany is mistaken for Mary Magdalene. Yes, Mary of Bethany, sister of Martha and Lazarus, did anoint Jesus in preparation for his burial. Yes, seven demons were cast out of Mary Magdalene. Also, I think a little clarification as to why Jesus waited 4 days. In Jewish tradition in Jesus’ time, the body was not truly dead until the fourth day. The belief was that the spirit hovered around the body for three days. Lazarus was indeed dead, thus more credence for Jesus’ miracle.
