She who Loved Greatly (Mary Magdalene)
With your tears you
washed the saviors feet,
and dried them with your
hair. Then you took perfume,
and anointed him with
oil.
All the while, the
Pharisees stared down
upon your countenance
and frowned, seeking
only to discredit the son
of God.
As love overflowed
from your heart, you
joyfully and humbly
honored the eternal
word through which
everything that exists
was created.
In his heart, you
have a special place
forever as you have
loved greatly.
Now and forever,
remember me in
your prayers,
beloved of Jesus,
Mary Magdalene.

Queen of Heaven
Your tears fall for all
humanity, even though
our hearts have been led
astray by the evil in the
world.
Your arms, hold us safe
like a child in a Mother’s
arms. For you are the
Queen of Heaven and
Mother of All.
Remember us in your
prayers, and keep us
close, so that even if
we falter, we may yet
stand in times of
trouble.
Queen of Heaven,
and Mother of those
who believe in your
son Jesus Christ, fill
our hearts with his
love.
For the ways of love
and peace, are the true
calling for all his people.
Allow your tenderness
and strength of virtue,
to surround us in
everything we do, so
that God the father
is glorified.
May the Holy Spirit
crown you with his
love, for in your arms
the savior was born
amidst your joy into
the world.
Then as you held our
Lord close when he
took his last breath,
even through heartbreak,
and tears you
still loved.
Queen of Heaven,
Mother of God,
pray for us always,
that we may always
abide in your sons
precious grace, love
and mercy, forever,
- Amen.

You Have Always Been There
When I was a child, I sensed you
in the sky above, and I knew you
were watching over me.
Growing up without an earthly
father was tough, as I had to learn
everything the hard way.
But through it all, you have always
been by my side. Through tears and
loneliness you were always there to
comfort me.
When I was targeted by the spirit of
death several times, you saved my
life, and I knew you were there.
In hardship and misery as I walked
through the darkness of this world,
you were there.
Even when, I was bloodied and weak
in my folly of putting my hope and
trust in mortals, you were there.
Now and forever, I look up to you
In Heaven as I did when I was only
a child, and stretch out my hand to
grasp yours because you loved me,
before I was even born.
I give you all the honor and the glory.
Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy
Spirit.
For in you, have I the certainty of
the resurrection into eternal life.
Not, because I have been good, for
no one is, but because I have always
believed in you.
For -You Have Always Been There.
