O Lord, of life and joy whose son Jesus did liberate and did make whole Mary Magdalene and called her to be the pioneer missionary of his resurrection, make our ignorance wise with your wisdom, make our weariness strong with your strength, so that we may delight in your love and rejoice in sharing and service; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
