Sister Gertrude Morgan: The Mystic of New Orleans - Book - Page 36
Big Dada and Dada Jesus work in the Spirit but they are real.
I was so happy to be married to them both!
I once made a painting of me with my two
husbands, and on it I wrote a little poem:
This is the father and the son and their little bride,
O how they love that little one
They stays right by her side,
and they are in her, too
They are spirits, you know,
They say,
“You go, I’ll go with you.”
I had many spiritual names and signed my art with all of them:
Black Angel, Bride of Jesus, Bride of Christ, Lamb Bride,
The Lamb’s Wife, Mother Gertrude, Mamma Gertrude, His
Nurse, Nurse to Doctor Jesus, Missionary Morgan, Missionary
Morgan Prophetess, Prophetess Morgan Missionary, Everlasting
Gospel Teacher, Madam, Bride, Everlasting Gospel Revelation
Painter, Your Boss’s Wife, Mother Darling, Little Ethiopia Girl,
Wife of the Two Gods, and Housekeeper for Dada God.
One of my paintings shows Dada Jesus and me,
Mamma Gertrude, with Psalm 58.
