Magnificat of Mary
My soul sings in gratitude.
I’m dancing in the mystery of God.
The light of the Holy One is within me and I am blessed, so truly blessed.
This goes deeper than human thinking.
I am filled with awe at Love whose only condition is to be received.
The gift is not for the proud, for they have no room for it.
The strong and self-sufficient ones don’t have this awareness.
But those who know their emptiness can rejoice in Love’s fullness.
It’s the Love that we are made for, the reason for our being.
It fills our inmost heart space and brings to birth in us, the Holy One.
