Original text and translations

Latin text Laetetur omne saeculum in solemnitate sanctae Mariae Magdalenae, quam Jesus, aeternus amor, dilexit plurimum. Haec Maria fuit illa Domino gratissima, quae unguento pretioso pedes unxit Domini.

English translation Let every age rejoice on the feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, whom Jesus, eternal love, loved exceedingly. This Mary was the one most dear to the Lord, who anointed the feet of the Lord with precious ointment.
