The Invocation of Mary Magdalene

Press play before reading.

Salute.

(A lone voice whispers)

Will you

Come forth

Appear and

Call to Mary Magdalene 

The Saint of Bethlehem 

 In this year

2023

With an invocation of

O' dearest Mother Mary 

Most Profound

I pray I am found

So my soul can be filled with holy love 

Everywhere I go 

I pray and hope for the strength to cope 

And to share that holy love 

With anyone I see

Amen

A means to help lost souls avoid the Devil's welcoming flame 

But fill them with thoughts of charity

And his Holy Name 

 

To let them see there is no reason to mourn

For they could be gloriously reborn

If they truly believe 

In these dark days of mistrust

To fear not if the Darkness came

Like an unwelcomed stranger

In the falling rain

For in fire and wet sweat

Steel is born

Free from fear

And no shame

So

Invoke the Goddess by Her name 

When your hearts are bare 

As the winters corn

And from the earth and water 

She'll come 

Blowing her golden horn

Singing of mysteries

Of hosanna

Linked to the Almighty's great name

Fulfilling all oaths 

Once torn                   

And drawing once-broken bridges near 

To be crossed filled with cheer

As fear 

Burns up in its eternal flame

To then wallow in its hardy frame 

As it brings forth the glory 

With the call of her golden horn

And guides them toward a new rebirth 

To cleanse the pain 

So depression is torn

As inspiration is reborn

By the morn

 

So they can then chant 

Blessed Be 

After saying 

O' dearest Mother Mary 

Most Profound

I pray I am found

So my soul can be filled with holy love 

Everywhere I go 

I pray and hope for the strength to cope 

And to share that holy love 

With anyone I see

Amen
