St Mary Magdalene Carrying the Oil of Nard to anoint the Feet of Jesus
On 22nd July 2025
I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise continually on my lips.
Mary Magdalene
Oh Mary Magdalene, Lord has chosen you, to see Him first after the resurrection to tell the story to his brothers (Apostles) and to the whole world without the fear.
She said: I sought but could not find him!
So I shall get up and go through the city;
In the streets and in the squares,
I shall seek my sweetheart.
I sought but could not find him!
I came upon the watchmen—those who go on their rounds in the city:
‘Have you seen my sweetheart?’
Barely had I passed them when I found my sweetheart.
I caught him, would not let him go
Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father.
Come my bride, come to me, come closer to me,
Let my kiss enrich you with my Divine Mercy.
I’ll bring the light into your life,
Forget your own father’s house of your world.
Come to my Fathers’ house of eternal glory,
Where you can have milk and honey abundantly
The honey is sweeter than the honey of your world
No money no wealth can buy this
Come my bride, come to me and hold my hand
Come to my green pastures to give you rest
Come and drink the living water,
I give you, which flowing from my heart
I give this entire blessing; to those I loved so much,
And those who loves me with all her heart,
But you are my heart and soul,
Rest on my chest and hear my song of love
I have chosen you among all the lilies and roses
And from all that beauties of this world
But I ask you one thing, only one thing,
Will you give me your heart to make a home for me?

Note: Actually it was written while I was reading the Song of Songs many years ago, and today's reading also was from Song of Songs. Because of today is the feast of `Mary Magdalene, and thought this will be appropriate to honour her with this poem. Thank you Lord, for reminding us about your loving saint, St Mary Magdalene.
