 Mary of Magdala mother of the “Child Jesus”?

• Something bothers me, however: in the infancy narratives in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, Mary mother of Jesus plays a major role. However, this character seems very different from Mary of Magdala who is only mentioned much later in the story...  
  • Effectively. Both in Matthew and Luke’s, Mary of Magdala seems very different from the blessed Mary from the legendary or embellished accounts of the Nativity where the Virgin Mary is already half heroized. But this glaring contrast is not significant because the same observation can also be made for the mother of Jesus herself: is the mother of “the adult Jesus” really the same as that of “the Child Jesus”?
• What do you mean?
  • The Mary who, during the public life of Jesus, does not hesitate to oppose her son – and is even rebuked by him – does not she also seem very different from the blessed Mary of the Annunciation?
• Let’s admit it, but what is it due to?
  • In the Gospels, the traditions of the Nativity (ignored by Mark and John) and the Passion never overlap. However, unlike the Mary of the last moments, that of the Childhood stories is idealized. Therefore, the fact that Mary of Magdala seems to be a very different figure from the Virgin of the Childhood stories – which are in reality only late composition of midrashic nature – does not mean that she is not the mother of Jesus. What is at stake here, for us, is that Mary of Magdala does not seem to be a different person from the mother of Jesus as we meet her during the ministry of her son.
• In your opinion, the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene are therefore in reality only one and the same person?
  • I am not the one saying it: the documents say it. Pay attention to this: Mary of Magdala and the mother of Jesus are never present simultaneously in the Gospels. We move freely from one ... to the other. Just compare the end of the Gospels to the beginning of the Book of Acts and see that they are interchangeable. A few days after the series of apparitions which preceded the Ascension and of which Mary of Magdala was the first witness (“go to My brethren…”), it is the mother of Jesus who is then found alongside the Apostles and brothers of Jesus:

When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James […] These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with [the] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His Brothers. (Acts of the Apostles 1:13–14)

• Perhaps she is included here in these “few women” who are not named?
  • It would be amazing. Mary of Magdala is a prominent female figure. She is always mentioned by name in the Gospels where she occupies the first place. And the author of the book of Acts is Luke the Evangelist.
• So, if she is not explicitly mentioned, it is because she is absent ...
  • Or rather that “Mary mother of Jesus” is put for her!
• It is only a hypothesis ... And are either of these two figures mentioned again in the Acts or in the Epistles? 
  • It is the last time Jesus’ mother is called by name in the New Testament. As I said before, when Paul mentions her in his epistles, he refrains from naming her. He says of her: “A woman” (Galatians 4:4).
