Next Wednesday evening there will be a meeting of the Angelinas. My thanks to one of the Angelinas for their reflection on one of our earlier meetings. If you'd like to find out more please get in touch.
We are a group of mothers of young children who come
together for mutual support and to find inspiration in the writings of St Angela
Merici. We are blessed to have the
Ursuline sisters to guide us in the spirit of St Angela as we strive to live
out our vocations as wives and mothers. The meeting begins with time
to chat and share our experiences, joys and challenges over a delicious meal
prepared by some of the Angelinas. We then have a reflection led by one of the Ursulines inspired by St Angela Merici, see below reflection from an earlier meeting.
We thank God for the life and inspiration of St Angela and for the work and friendship of the Ursuline sisters in our Parish. St Angela Merici – pray for us.
I AM LOVE – I AM GOD – I AM YOUR STORY
My story is a song … sung countless times before; yet
different in its rendering,
Discovering anew … an ageless vibrancy, because in
time and space,
There exists an ONLY MOMENT and an ONLY ME.
Unique
in my centre,
And
opening afresh
each
day
to
a LOVE SONG.
My story is a story of my depths …
Blended
with the Divine,
Hearts
meet heart,
And
I hear the words
of
a God.
Like music on a harp string, I play a song of love.
Each day upon your heart, my notes are stroked
with
tenderness …
Some
softly with the awe of peace,
Some
sombre with the ache of suffering,
Some
joyful with the ring of hope,
And all played gently with my hand.
I
AM LOVE – I AM GOD.
Be my joy and open yourself completely.
Let my music flow in full resonance for
In
truth, a note rings free,
In
truth, a note rings clearly.
Let me play upon your heart …
A
melody of being,
A
melody of truth.
I
AM LOVE – I AM GOD.
Do not be afraid … I am a gentle conductor.
I
tune your heart, and I alone
Can
bring its richness
into
full melody.
Do not be afraid … as I play my melody …
For
it is a SONG OF LOVE …
Played
upon your being,
Played
upon your story,
Played
upon your heart.
I
AM LOVE
I AM GOD
I AM YOUR STORY
