Tabb Centenary Year XII A lyric by Rev. John B. Tabb. A Lenten Thought
Alone with Thee, who canst not be alone, 1894 (p. 226, Religion: Lent and Easter) [Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent in the Roman Church. Magdalen is St. Mary Magdalen(e). The allusion is either to the Gospel story of the sinful woman washing the Lord’s feet with her hair, Luke 7:36-50 (traditionally, the woman has often been identified as the Saint, though the identification is not much more than conjecture), or to Matthew 28:8-10, wherein Mary Magdalen is one of the women greeted by the Risen Lord, or to both stories.] Lane Core Jr. CIW P Wed. 02/25/09 07:49:20 AM |
