From hopelessness to joy, from seven demons to a radiant faith. Mary Magdalene, the Apostle to the Apostles, shines as a beacon of hope to all of us:  if God can transform her in such a wonderful and dramatic way, maybe God can transform us as well. All we need is love. When Christ calls her by name, her joy is complete. I portray her as full of that peace which passes all understanding.
