The Litany of St. Mary Magdalen


The Litany of St. Mary Magdalen

Lord, have mercy on us, 
Christ, have mercy on us. 
Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, hear us, 
Christ, graciously hear us.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us.

St. Mary Magdalen, Pray for us.
Sister of Martha and Lazarus, Pray for us
Thou who didst enter the Pharisee's house to anoint the feet of Jesus, Pray for us

Who didst wash His feet with thy tears, Pray for us
Who didst dry them with thy hair, Pray for us
Who didst cover them with kisses, Pray for us
Who wast vindicated by Jesus before the proud Pharisee, Pray for us
Who from Jesus received the pardon of thy sins, Pray for us
Who before darkness wast restored to light, Pray for us

Mirror of penance, Pray for us
Disciple of Our Lord, Pray for us
Wounded with the love of Christ, Pray for us
Most dear to the Heart of Jesus, Pray for us
Constant woman, Pray for us
Last at the Cross of Jesus, first at His tomb, Pray for us
Thou who wast the first to see Jesus risen, Pray for us
Whose forehead was sanctified by the touch of thy risen Master, Pray for us
Apostle of apostles, Pray for us

Who didst choose the "better part," Pray for us
Who lived for many years in solitude being miraculously fed, Pray for us
Who wast visited by Angels seven times a day, Pray for us
Sweet advocate of sinners, Pray for us
Spouse of the King of Glory, Pray for us

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,
world without end. R. Amen.
