Mary of Magdala


Note: I am trying to create VLogs, and it is so hard; I have to use online tools, and where I live, we have half-fast internet. To upload a 3-minute clip, it took 2 hours.

Another issue is that I have a strong French accent, so to produce something, I use many tools like AI, Grammarly, YouTube, OneDrive, Clipchamp, my computer, and my cell; it uploads faster on my cell than on my PC. Of course, any voice you hear in my clips is not mine. I use text-to-speech from Clipchamp.

My Hardware Tools :

  • To film: Google Pixel 7. I do have two good cameras: an Olympus and a Nikon that are 14 years old; none of the accessories fit on any of them (like an external mic)
  • Computer 2016: Device Name HP, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz, Installed RAM 12.0 GB, Storage 1.82 TB HDD ST2000DM001-1ER164, Graphics Card Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (113 MB) and Windows 10 Home
  • Modem from Internet Provider: DSL 6, home internet providing 6 Mbps download speed, 1 Mbps upload speed


The original text without any change, like the Cenacle, is still the Cenacle, not Seneca and not Mary Amidala for Magdala done by Microsoft spell checker. I didn’t notice it before saving and downloading.

Yesterday was the Feast of Mary of Magdala.

And before the consecration of the Eucharist, I will tell you about my finding. First, yesterday we received our third Icon; I went to pick it up at the Monastery, the missing one, “Salome”. Now the chapel has the three Marys: Mother of Jesus, Mary Salome and the one who had the feast, Mary of Magdala.

I was preparing the Eucharist, and I was wondering if Magdala was at the Last Supper in the Cenacle? I searched Google and didn’t like the result: Biblical records and most scholars state Mary Magdalene was not at the Last Supper in the Cenacle. The gospels state Jesus ate this meal only with his twelve male apostles.

The Attendees: The Bible names Jesus and the Twelve Apostles as the guests at this Passover meal. Women like the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene followed Jesus, but the Bible does not list them as participants at the table.

The Confusion: People often believe Mary Magdalene was there because of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, The Last Supper. Da Vinci painted the Apostle John as beardless and with long hair. People mistake John for Mary Magdalene.

The Location: The Upper Room, or Cenacle, is located in Jerusalem. It is the traditional site of the Last Supper and the later Pentecost. Mary Magdalene is mentioned in the Bible as being present at the Crucifixion and the Resurrection.

Then I found a link to an EWTN page about it; remember that I am an EWTN Media Missionary.

So the site goes like this: Was Mary Magdalene at the Last Supper?

Mary Magdalene was not mentioned in Scripture as being present at the Last Supper, though we do know she was present at Jesus’ Passion, Death, and Resurrection. It is quite possible, however, that the Mother of the Lord, Mary Magdalene, and other women were indeed present.
