Woman, Mother of God
An excerpt from the poem Women of God by Sister Barbara DeStefano
Woman of all women, you are a model of faith for us.
You had the openness to hear an angel, the courage to say “Yes” to your God
even in the midst of judgment and danger,
and the wisdom “to ponder all these things in your heart.”
Whether you found yourself at the stable crib, or the passion cross,
at the holy city temple, or the Cana wedding,
your relationship with Jesus, was shown to be intimate and faithful.
We praise God for you.
