July the twenty second is
The Feast of Mary Magdalene
Whose loving eyes were verdi-gris
Her body smelled of Jessamine
Called “Sinner” - yet in spite of it
She ranked among Apostles high
Amongst them all the “Favorite”
Who with the Lord saw eye-to-eye
I kiss her picture- grasp my pen
To sing of outcasts of her sort
The pariah, the Sinner Magdalene,
So highly favored of the Lord.
Faithful and loyal to the end
She stayed with Him upon her knee
When the disciples’ coward band
Ran, when He hung upon the tree
The first the Risen Christ to see
Appearance with no one to share
For all her love and loyalty
For at His passion she was there.
On her the Lord made the bequest-
Not to disciples’ fickle crew,
To preach and counsel to the rest
Of followers, - Gentile or Jew.
Ere Paul appeared yet on the scene
And the apostles found their wit,
There was Apostle Magdalene
Illuminating dull esprits.
Disciples pusillanimous,
Who’d left the master in the lurch,-
She counseled them as prophetess
Ere yet established was the church.
Pray for us Mary Magdalene!
Apostle to Apostles fair,
Our Preachers‘ merits are so lean,
Please take us in your care.!

Thank you Jackie!
It would be worthwhile for everyone to read the NON CANONICAL COPTIC GOSPEL OF MARY MAGDALENA. What a treasure house! and the faithful don't even know it.
Thanks again for commenting
