Mornings with Mary - Dark and Light

The beauty of colour ..... derives from shape;

from the conquest of the darkness inherent in Matter,

by the pouring in of light, the unembodied ........

 -                       Plotinus

Darkness is the great canvas against which beauty becomes visible.

- John O"Donaghue, Divine Beauty

Doubt is the shadow cast when something gets in the way of the light.  

Ironically, doubt itself brings greater light because of the

shadow it casts.

Another wonderful blessed Morning with Mary

Mornings with Mary

Feel my hand

You are already in my arms.

You are already looking at me.

Open your eyes

Open your eyes, dear one.

You are my dearest child.

I am your Mother

Do not be afraid

Nothing is lost

Nothing that you love is lost

I am its home

I am where everything is full, where all of life is complete

The darkness is the pathway through my eyes

You will find light

You will begin to see

Call on me

Reach out your hand

I love you

You are my darling child

You are my dearest heart

Do not be afraid

Nothing is lost

Nothing

Everything is right here, right here in me

I am your Mother.

Mornings with Mary

Oh Maria Sophia,

Let reason laugh

so very much at my simplicity

even more will I sing

about the object of my love

Oh Maria Sophia my Strength

O She is my Heroine,

And everything that I need.

And without Her know I

myself to be unprepared for battle ....

Be Thou mine. Thou Heroine, Thou,

God's pure Life.

Let me be suspended unharmed

in peace that is assured.

Hold me tightly to You.

Protect me with your cloak!

And when the enemy's power mounts,

So fight and be victorious in me!

by Gottfried Arnold from Sophia-Maria by Thomas Schipflinger

Mornings with Mary

O Blessed Mary,

gentle as the light of the Moon

May I be an instrument of thy peace and mercy

O Queen of the Holy Rosary

Bless us as we chant

And offer thee our roses

In garlands day by day

O Flower of Venus

You are the Rose in which the word became flesh

I live gloriously in your protection
