MAGDALENE: JEWEL OF JESUS
MAGDALENE : JEWEL OF JESUS
She was the Chosen
a beckoned one
to ignite His speeches
smooth it with her own
illustrious strength
‘Courage against Odds’
marked her inner Jewel
soft it lay cradled
rhapsodic rubicon ribs
holding space
bones, baptismal blood
for His ordained trials
tribulations traverses
one who sat opposite
a tomb trembling waiting

A Letter To Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene
No one can take away the honour given to you!
You were the first one to see the resurrected Jesus
We know that your past was dark
But you had the privilege of getting into the ARK
The Saviour called you
He saw what others did not see!
There are too many that want to make you a

The Auguries of Mary Magdalene
The Auguries of Mary Magdalene
David J Walker
I saw Mary Magdalene
Sitting on the stone bench
Near your grave
Was she here for you
Was she there to proclaim
Your absence
never looking my way or
saying a single word in
A dream about a victory
that could save my soul and
Release yours from sad visions
I remember the

Magdalene
Tortured and a prisoner
To demons of my past
One man knocked and entered
Healed and free at last
One man knew and loved me
Despite who I was then
He saw divine potential
Found and reached through him
One man led by example
To choose the better part
It cannot be taken from me
It’s in my soul, my mind, my heart
One man returns to

The Magdalene
I have this urge to sway
on street corners in a derelict way,
disheveled, a little drunk,
an impulse to praise Mary,
not the Virgin, but her
less immaculate namesake.
'Hail Mary, full of grace,
Our Lord is with you.'
Perhaps the sound of my voice
will de-ice parked cars, straighten
shopping cartwheels, save a kid's
balloon from escaping?
'Blessed are you among women,
And blessed the fruit

Mary Magdalene
Master, teacher, and deliverer is what Jesus was to me
And, thanks to him, never again do I have to feel unclean
Real love and compassion is what I received from him
Yesterday's sorrow has gone, and a new day of happiness has come
My new life is pure as the driven snow because of what he did for

The Love of Mary Magdalene
On canvas was made to shame
For the world to despise her name
Portrayed as a whore
A dirty Mary nothing more
Hair that wiped Jesus’s feet of oil and tears
Never left his side even at the cross
Who was this woman from Magdala
Why has the bible tried to exclude her
She soothes a crucified body with aloes and

Mary Magdalene On Silent Screen
MARY MAGDALENE ON SILENT SCREEN
Seven deadly sins, like flames, leap from her flesh,
clinging to locks of hair, to a prostitute’s hem.
The unsavory shadows unwilling to depart.
Each sin screams out its name, reminding her
of they’re quintessence, with cloven tongues.
Only the Christ can fell her spirit chains.
They gently fall away, with a mighty wave.
She’s clothed in light

For Mary Magdalene
FOR MARY MAGDALENE
Between necessity and freedom I was crucified
Perceiving Himself endlessly on the cross
Yet aware, as an onlooker, petrified
My vision that never was, would be His loss.
I mimed too, as they hammered in the nails
Once more assuaging myself in His deep tears
Once more my heart rallying where my speech fails
To give His lips the

Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene as we have all heard was not living her life right
Till one day her soul stirred as the Lord Jesus came into her sight
In hearing each Word He would say she herself began to change
And oh how she changed her way, even she found it to be strange
But by the Lord's side she

Mary Magdalene
One summer eve in Galilee
I stood before my open door;
to me it seemed just one more night--
like all the others gone before.
Someone would come and, passing by,
would hear the tinkling of the bells,
would see the garish harlot's robe
and painted eyes beneath my veil.
Someone, a man like all the rest--
it did not matter much to me--
a

Appears To Mary Magdalene
[Father Christ appears to Mary Magdalene
Who does not recognize Him immediately]
Father Christ said to her “Mary”
She turned and said to Him in Hebrew
“Rabboni!” [means teacher]
