Reflection - Magnificat

by Sr. Kathy Rose Miller

My Soul rejoices in you, my Redeemer,

And my Spirit dances within your presence my God,

Because you who love mightily, look upon me,

One who stands with arms stretched out toward you.

You my Lord, have guided me thru honoring my journey

And the awareness that you were always there

In the darkness and light, in pain and joy, in the dying and rising,

And for this I’ll be ever thankful.

I remember your tenderness for all that you have begun in me,

And with those Angels in my life with whom

I have walked my journey - Bless them with many graces.

You, Waiting Jesus, my Beloved, have come into my life

With compassion, generosity, guidance,

Openness, kindness and blessings, as you have always come.

With grateful thanks to you -

My Lord, my God, my Redeemer,
