In this episode of our Marie du Jour series, we learn that in 1587, St. Mary Magdalene of the Incarnate Word de Pazzi experienced a profound ecstasy while fervently praying for chastity. The Virgin Mary appeared to her, assuring her that she had already triumphed over impure temptations. Mary placed a pure white veil on the saint, promising she would no longer suffer such temptations. From that moment, Mary Magdalene felt free from carnal desires and remained pure throughout her life.
