The first name
the Risen Lord
uttered
was her name.
Not the name
of Simon Peter,
or James or John,
or some Very Wise Man,
but the name
of that once-mad,
seven-times-mad,
Woman from Magdala.
At the tomb,
the second womb,
a second Mary
was Hailed. Healed.
And full of Grace,
the Lord was with her,
His Apostle
to His Apostles.
