Hope

“Let her be joyous and always full of charity.”
St. Angela, Chapter Two, The Rule

Daily re-consecration
Revives my Hope
Draws me inward,
Whence Faith propels my soul
Into God’s creative Heart,
And burning Love
Commissions me.

O Jesus, transform me now
Into Wisdom,
God’s essence,
For service to your Mission
Of healing and empow’ring
By holy touch
This world of pain.

Sainted Angela, live on
In my prayer
In my labors - -
That they might bring to Light Christ
Who engages me in the work
Of engaging
Others for Him.

Grounded in Divine Wisdom
The Universe,
God’s wondrous gift,
Instills in me holy awe
And beckons me to journey
Deep into Life
Sharing God’s wholeness.
