The Lost Saint: Inspired by Love, Guided by God

By Sherry Durgapershad

What do you know about love? A question that has had many answers but with little justification. But the worlds first documented love came from the roots of Christianity. This book is the untold story of lord Jesus Christ and his saviour, his purity, his purpose, his love Saint Mary Magdalene. An epic poetic display of a womans valour and resolve, poetic brilliance and spiritually humbling. This book is a play on words as you have never seen before. A condemned love story vindicated by the grace of art and poetry. This book preserves the legacy of the bravest woman the world will ever know. A never before told journey, written with the spirit of the Lord and his love as a guide. This book will detail love for the beauty it is and serve as a reminder that love...true love is always victorious.

The Lost Saint

An author, an artist. No matter what I may be.

Saint Mary Magdalene, my inspiration she is.

Inspire she did, both words she saw fit.

For her glory to see and to the world be free.

Her radiance, her beauty. Her kindness, her wisdom.

Her face of serenity the lord did see.

Her portrait in a painting. A beautiful heart I see.

A pure soul. A wonder. In a face of serenity he did believe.

A beauty of note. Her eyes in meditation. So serene.

Her love for the lord can be seen.

The artist in me. This saintly woman I see.

On canvas I portray for the world to see and in the truth to believe.

Yes a saint I see.

The Lost Saint. Saint Mary Magdalene it is.

This book is dedicated to my inspiration, my beloved Saint Mary Magdalene. Who taught me that you were never lost and that true love is eventually found.

I shall follow you to the ends and beyond.

Mary Magdalene

Lost she was, now she is found, True loves journey has now been told. A true love hidden is now known.

** True love so rare, with faith, will be found **

PRELUDE

Inspired I am

H er struggles., her pain. Her wisdom. Her love. But no glory.Why?because ‘they’ did not want the world to know.Love!The one thing that her beloved lord preached to the world was the one thing she had to bare secret.

My Mary Magdalene. My inspiration. The woman that stood by her lord. The woman who inspired him to be who he was and still is..a love that was denied to the world.

They said. They shall not know because then they will not believe…

Why did the love that could inspire the world be not known?

Well. My Mary Magdalene. You have inspired me..your pure love for the lord has. Your struggles. Your heart wrenching pain. Your patience your faith your loyalty your love and faithfulness in your lord has inspired me..

Yes now they shall know your worth. Your love and your goodness. Yes the world shall know..

Let it be known. My inspiration you are..

Because you have taught me that when you love you love with your soul. You love with honesty. You love with loyalty and most of all you love with TRUST.

And you have taught me that that’s what love is all about…THE TRUTH. The Truth in love. It is what you had. It is what I have sought and exactly what I have found. True love I have found.

Yes let it be known. The truth shall set you free they say. Through me you shall. Free you will be. Just as it is my time so it is yours. Together we shall be free.

Inspired me you have. My Mary Magdalene. Through you I have found. The truth in love I have found..

Inspired I am.

VERSE 1

Let it be known

A love so pure but oh so many lies. How could they be so devious not wise.

Bring forth the truth and please let it be known. Let it be pure.. with no more lies.

Oh how it pains me My Lady Magdalene.

Yet he is the Mighty King of the kind hearted Queen.

So many secrets. So much silence yet in the silence a secret they keep of a love so divine.

Bring forth the truth and please let it be known. No more secrets no more silence.

The ruthless words said. The cruel words used. How could they ever on a lady as pure as you.

Bring forth the truth and please let it be known. On a soul so true no more ruthless and cruel words be thrown.

You suffered their wrath they said the sinner you was. He asked them to bring forth anyone who had not sinned or they shall be lost.

Bring forth the truth please let it be known.

No more was she a sinner than you and me..i know.

With all that has been said and all that has been done My Lady Magdalene a true love she had found.

So please bring forth the truth and let it be known My Lady Magdalene’s love will be known.

Oh then it shall not pain me we both will be free as My Lady Magdalene alone will let the world behold.

VERSE 2

A love not lost

A love that’s lost but shall be found is the love for the lord loved our beloved lady Magdalene.

She hurt. She cried. Emotionally and physically beaten her heart bled as she witnessed her lord being crucified..

Witness she did her beloved being brutally taken away from her.

To him she wanted to run to..to ease his pain. To ease his suffering to make it a little better.

For every drop of blood spilled from her lords body. Was a cut to her heart
