A Prayer to St. Mary Magdalene

This is my prayer to my patroness, St. Mary Magdalene

St. Mary Magdalene, penitent who had the courage to wash Jesus’ feet with your tears and dry them with your hair, pray for me to your friend, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that He will grant me the great gifts you were given.

Ask Him to teach me your penitence, that I may weep at His feet for forgiveness of my sins, as you did.

Ask Him to show me a penance as perfect as yours, that I may serve Him as perfectly as you did.

Ask Him to show me the miracle of His resurrection with the clarity He showed it to you.

Ask Him to teach me humility, for while my sin of pride was not as great as yours in your sin, I am still too proud of my beauty and do not use it for His purposes.

Ask Him to grant me the peace and the joy of serving Him that he taught to you.

Ask Him, as He cast seven devils from you, to drive the devil’s influence from my life.

Ask Him to show me the forgiveness He showed to you, as I weep at His feet.

Pray for me, St. Mary Magdalene, that I may find my way out of sin and perfectly into His service as you did.

Amen
