This commemoration is not found in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer but is found in some more recent revisions of the Prayer Book. The following Collect, Epistle and Gospel are appointed in the Canadian 1962 BCP.
THE COLLECT. O ALMIGHTY God, whose blessed Son did sanctify Mary Magdalene, and call her to be a witness to his resurrection: Mercifully grant that by thy grace we may be healed of all our infirmities, and always serve thee in the power of his endless life; who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, world without end. Amen.
THE LESSON. Acts 13. 27.
FOR those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their
rulers, though they found no cause of death in Jesus, yet
desired they Pilate that he should be slain. And when they had
fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from
the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. But God raised him from
the dead: and he was seen many days by them which came up with
him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the
people.
THE GOSPEL. St John 20. 11 MARY stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, and seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
