Description: I
am a Sister of the Holy Child Jesus for 54 years.
I was born in a small town in Illinois where we
owned and worked a small farm of twenty-five
acres. I entered my religious community when I was
eighteen and taught school for twenty-five years.
Since then I have worked in various capacities, as
a chaplain in a mental hospital, as director of
religious education in several parishes and with
mentally handicapped adults. Now I am retired but
still active. This is my second book of poetry
published.
Resurrection
I
touched the cold ground
Where
the grass never grows,
Where
the face of a flower
never
turns to the sun.
O
Spirit of God,
Breathe
on this desolate soil.
Fill
it with your Spirit grace.
O
mighty Wind of God,
Blow,
rejuvenate, and enlighten.
Give
strength and blessing
And
the gift of your rain.
Grow
my roots deep
Into
the womb of the earth
Where
the dying seed
Produces
new birth
