Monday, December 6th - Ninth Day of Advent
Mary and Elizabeth
Mary and Elizabeth
two strong women
whose wombs
carried two strong men
Mary and Elizabeth
two hospitable women
with wombs wide, full
of grace and conversion
Mary and Elizabeth
two loving women,
blessing one another
with the grace of affection,
strength of communion
Mary and Elizabeth
did they know the dance
within their wombs
might change a hurting heart,
transform a languished life
Mary and Elizabeth,
two holy women
wombs gestating goodness,
sources of nurturing grace
yeast for every inner birthing
- Joyce Rupp
Closing Prayer
Holy wisdom, God of hope
What are you birthing within me?
What hope do you have for my life?
Open my awareness to your holy presence within my life.
Amen.
