St. Mary Magdalene

I found him whom my soul loveth: 
I held him: and I will not let him go...  
Song of Songs 3:4


To Saint Mary Magdalene

You claimed
the false
until you found
the True;
your beauty
wounded
until Beauty
wounded you,
and plunged your soul
into a spring so sweet
your tears
fell as chaste pearls
at Mercy's
feet.

Fr. Gerald Fitzgerald
