Just a few words I wrote down one time while in prayer...


The True Woman

Let me be as the woman at the well, and allow You to read my heart.

Let me be as the adulteress, and accept from You a pure heart.

Let me be as Magdalen, and give my all to wash Your feet.

Let me be as Martha, and serve You with my life.

Let me be as Mary, and make my heart Your listening spouse of silence.

Let me be as Elizabeth, and recognize Your hiddenness in others.

Let me, O Jesus, be as Queen, accepting Your Church with the love of a mother, waiting at the foot of the Cross, loving You even when my soul is lost in dark night, because these are the moments when You are closest to me.
