Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright,
gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
teach us wisdom; teach us love.
…
You were chosen by the Father;
You were chosen for the Son.
You were chosen from all women
and for women, shining one.
Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright,
gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
teach us wisdom; teach us love.
Blessed are you among women,
blest in turn, all women, too.
Blessed they with peaceful spirits.
Blessed they with gentle hearts.
Gentle woman, quiet light
Morning star, so strong and bright,
gentle Mother, peaceful dove,
teach us wisdom; teach us love.
This is one of my favorite Catholic songs about Mary.
This is the antidote to Eve. We don’t need to become hardened by the world. We need humility, honesty, hope and faith. We need devoted prayer and surrendered will. We need to trust our Savior and His goodness despite the trials we are asked to endure. I am not blessed because I have seen, blessed are those who do not see and believe. I just say thank you for the love.
