A modern day Madonna, proud, erect, peace-filled, glorious
her willingness to guard and protect the child against war and insurrection
butterflies abound--a rebirth, a freedom from their cocoons
Nature at her finest
her clothing is that of an ordinary woman, an everyday person
a dark and rich complexion
a perfect tint, mixture,
a village, all colors mixed into a glorious hue
a face that radiates light and warmth,
a new day dawns
love and the Peace of Christ.
She is betrothed, one finger displays a ring,
a ring of eternity
a vow of unconditional love
a crown of gold highlights her strength and devotion to her task,
I am a Jesuit priest of the USA East Province who has an avocation of binding art and creativity to spirituality. I have a SoWa (South End) studio in Boston and I give retreats and spiritual direction using creative techniques to make a person's Ignatian prayer particular and unique. Ignatian Spirituality is the cornerstone of my work; art, poetry, prose is a way to help us get to the heart of conversations in prayer.
