Response: pray for us

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Saint Mary Magdalen,
Sister of Martha and Lazarus,
Thou who entered the Pharisee’s house to anoint the feet of Jesus,
Who washed His feet with thy tears,
Who covered them with kisses,
Who was vindicated by Jesus before the proud Pharisee,
Who from Jesus received the pardon of thy sins,
Who before darkness was restored to light,
Mirror of penance,
Disciple of Our Lord,
Wounded with the love of Christ,
Most dear to the Heart of Jesus,
Constant woman,
Last at the Cross of Jesus, first at His tomb,
Thou who wast the first to see Jesus risen,
Whose forehead was sanctified by the touch of thy risen Master,
Apostle of apostles,
Who didst choose the "better part",
Who lived for many years in solitude being miraculously fed,
Who wast visited by angels seven times a day,
Sweet advocate of sinners,
Spouse of the King of Glory,

V. Saint Mary Magdalen, earnestly intercede for us with thy Divine master,
R. That we may share thy happiness in Heaven.

Let Us Pray

May the glorious merits of blessed Mary Magdalen, we beseech Thee, O Lord, make our offerings acceptable to Thee, for Thine only-begotten Son vouchsafed graciously to accept the humble service she rendered . We ask this through Him Who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, God forever and ever.
R.Amen.

May the prayers of blessed Mary Magdalen help us, O Lord, for it was in answer to them that Thou didst call her brother Lazarus, four days after death, back from the grave to life, Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, Unity in Trinity, without end.
R. Amen.
