CHORAL RECITATION

Magdalene O Magdalene Born with a crown Princess of Canossa Where is your pretty gown?

I was born in Verona, lost my father when I was five. Although life was tough, with difficulties and strife, I was happy to be alive.

What doesn’t kill you only makes you strong, they say! My heart was full of love, focused on the Lord, to Him I would pray.

Frills and fancies I gave up, for the little ones left all alone, Following in the footsteps of my Mama Mary, to make Jesus loved and known, I established for them, a comforting and safe home.

St Magdalene, O Mother Foundress, Then what did you do? That you are remembered and loved In this day and age too?

I found a Spouse, the most faithful and handsome. With Him by my side I was never lonesome.

Now firmly anchored in Christ Crucified, the Institution of Canossa I founded. To spread HIS love and message to all, In the spirit of Charity and Humility my Daughters and Sons are grounded.

To continue my legacy all over the world.

Harvesting young minds, the message of Jesus in their hearts to unfurl.

"I desire that God may set your hearts on fire with HIS love,” ‘cause

"Those who love are never tired, since love knows no burden."

Let the Light of Christ shine through you, Not just in your speech, but in your actions too! Illuminate the darkness that’s growing strong. Become Beacons of light, shining far and long!

St Magdalene, we promise to do as you say, That we may continue your message, intercede for us we humbly pray. With Mother Mary as our Model and Jesus as our Friend, We, Canossians will continue your noble legacy that will never ever end!
