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
