What a life-bridge of happenings
between the Annunciation
and the Assumption.*
Say with Mary her Magnificat
magnifying her/our ever-faithful God.
Praise with Mary;
Rejoice with Mary;
Give thanks with Mary;
Ponder with Mary.
Imagine your life full of grace,
pulsing with the Holy Spirit in your being.
Dare to pray for prophetic courage.
Then imagine yourself grasped fully at last,
like Mary, in ever-lasting joy.
Amen.
*See Maura Eichner’s “From a Woman’s Life”
and Kilian O’Donnell’s “In the Kitchen”
for a depiction of Mary’s experience
with psychological realism.
