Without you I would lose hope and yield
To darkness, despair, unending death.
Instead you raise me up, give me wealth,
Riches beyond imagination.
Of love, hope, faith, joy and a vision.
To light the world by being woman
A gift to all, inspiring women.
As I have been nourished by Mary,
Anna, Hannah, Martha and Mary.
Women who have gone ahead of me.
Taught me about You and how to be
Filled with passion and transcendent grace,
Jesus to you alone, I give praise.
* Last Friday after A. expounded on Hannah (thanks A. for such an insightful and deep teaching), she encouraged us to write our own canticles, to be inspired by the Spirit, as Hannah and Mother Mary were.
