Where The Only Law Is Right

May 15, 2014

I'm back in the saddle again,

out where a friend is a friend

Where the long horn cattle feed

on the lonely jimson weed

I'm back in the saddle again

Ridin' the range once more, totin' my old forty-four

Where you sleep out every night,

and the only law is right

Back in the saddle again

Whoopi ti yi yo, rockin' to a fro,

back in the saddle again

Whoopi ti yi yea, I'll go my own way

Back in the saddle again

To Saint Mary Magdalen

Good Jesus, Saint Mary Magdalen was one of the women who assisted You and the apostles during Your public ministry. She cried with the Blessed Mother and St. John at the foot of Your cross, and she helped to bury Your dead body. For serving You with such devotion, she was the first to see You resurrected. I ask her to pray for me when I have opportunities to assist others as they approach death or grieve the death of loved ones. Inspire me, O God, in giving them Your comfort, in helping them accept salvation, and in guiding the survivors to release their loved ones into Your arms. St. Mary Magdalen, pray for us. Amen.
