Mary Magdalena


Painted by many masters of distinction throughout history,

displayed in Museums and Cathedrals with touches of mystery.

In agony and sorrowful tears or in blissful prayers,

the woman with Christ by biblical affairs.

Saint patron of cruel Dominicans and prostitutes,

witness of the his resurrection and crucifix prosecutes.

Apparently also mother of his child and lover,

when she had to flee Galilee for no one will discover.

Relics suppose to proof that dust of gold,

holy matrimonies for pilgrimages forever sold.

Her Image in many sculptures as the ultimate devotion,

tears of sorrows and transcended bleeding heart notion.

The woman that anoints Jesus feet and being a disciple,

representing the spiritual love as the feminine part of Bible.

She had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities,

because Christ empowered woman in his ministries.

Mary of Magdala with the alabaster box supporting that man,

understanding his teaching and fulfilled the role as part of plan.

To make Jesus followers faith stronger with a display in this regard,

still touching even in mysterious ways a powerful spiritual art.

https://robertrittel.blogspot.com Living virtualistic through myself. The road I wanted to follow choose me and I can see the cosmos to know itself. I remember only moments where my actions manifested the belief of my passion, choosing my next universe through what I have learned in this one. My fears got lost in dreams, sensing what needed to be done with no thinking. I believe in fairy tales, especially with dragons and how to tame them. I do not need any strange faith to worship that celestial brilliance. Dismissing everything what insults my soul and faithful in those small things, because it is in them where our strength is.
