Femininity

 

Regina Angelorum by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

I pray that femininity returns upon this earth,

To its former beauty and immeasurable worth.

Somehow in the shift of time without much of a glance,

An evolution’s taken place that’s minimized ROMANCE.

Which once was grace and mystery now seems a phantasy,

To only be remembered with desire and DIGNITY.

Many men have lost some of their valued self-esteem,

To a woman’s disrespect or undermining scheme.

Though these incidents are isolated it is true,

They can begin a rippling effect with just a few.

Like tidal waves gain speed and power as they surge along,

Assaults on femininity can cultivate a throng.

Our role model should be the Virgin MARY on this earth,

Who was the sweetest humblest woman from her very birth.

Chosen as the Mother of Our Savior Jesus Christ,

Her beauty was more RADIANT than the loveliest sunrise.

In order to restore our world to its former grandeur,

Imitating Mary will obtain it to be sure.

Some quiet moment meditate on Mary’s GENTLE heart,

Praying from your company that she will never part!

Believe that Your Loved Ones Are In God's Hands

Believe that Your Loved Ones Are In God's Hands

Believe that your loved ones are in God’s hands, with angels all hovering near. Picture them very SECURE  in His grace, then eliminate worry and fear. Acknowledge their lives don’t depend upon you, since they have a path of their own, where they will be guided by heavenly grace, and the path of their life clearly shown. Feeling their gladness depends upon you, is doubting the power of God. The times you very  let go you can see all the more,  how He BLESSED all the paths they have trod. Our loved ones are really so safe in God’s hands. His power is strong and immense. The depth of His pure unconditional love Is unfathomable profound and intense. Visualize your loved ones at PEACE with themselves, confidently strong every day. See in your mind them surrounded by grace, that’s protecting and guiding their way. Believe very deeply that nothing can thwart, God’s awesome and majestic power. Then let it settle down deep in your soul, comforting you every hour. Say to yourself “I am bountifully blessed, overflowing with grace from above. My loved ones are safely protected by day, and all through the night by God’s love.” Do not be afraid of illness or death, since we have God’s promise that He, will COMFORT enlighten us strengthen and guide us, through life and for eternity. Try to reflect for a moment each day how the angels will come from above, to guide us to heaven in unending light where we all will be wrapped in God’s love. Have faith you have always been cared for and GUIDED along every path you have trod. Then have total trust that your loved ones are safe, and secure in the strong hands of God!”
