WHO IS A WOMAN?

-


A woman is a being whose wing
 Is so broad, gathering and mothering
 Like the perennial river.
  
A woman is a being overstepped for too long
 Yet she manages albeit in a muffled voice
To show love to the world.
  
A woman is the invisible pillar
 Who has stood over the centuries
 Giving life to the world.
  
A woman is the scapegoat, carrying the blame
 When the rains delay, when the dust rise, when a child is slow,
 She will apologize on God’s behalf.
  
A woman is the healing hand, soft and gentle,
 Caressing away our pain….
 For pain is the absence of love.
  
A woman is the intellect that fixes it all;
The altar, the rosary beads, the disabled child, the secret gardens, a man’s face.
She is the beauty only noticeable in her absence.
  
A woman is God’s choice to new life,
The world’s miracle worker, taken for granted.
 It will take a woman to fight and end abortion.
  
A woman is the old Eve, mocked for meddling,
 Rejected and dejected as the Second Sex,
 Yet still she rises!
 Oh! She rises and ascends by the day.
  
Dear Woman, take this secret home,
 Your beauty lies in your uniqueness.
 Therefore, grapple, fight! And overcome the muse and the ruse,
That tells you to strive to be someone you are not!
The core purpose is in finding your true self and discovering your real worth.
  
So, go home and love yourself
Love yourself enough to love God.

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM WHOM MY HEART LOVES?

Have you seen the one whom my heart loves? Song 3:3 Resonated by the Mary of Magdala at the wake of Resurrection. Recall the devastation, the frustration, the wonderment? Of a woman in love and loss all at once, the confusion? He soon passed away and was no more; though I looked for him, he could not be found. Psalm 37:36 Here goes the tone of pain.   Designate was the voice that called, Mary! John 20:16 Intimate and consummate was the trill, so merry! The voice pitched in hope, cleared the guise. Does it happen that the deceased are rekindled? She sought for a corpse to accord a decent burial, But HE comes whole, victorious and alive! The pain turned victory!   Feminine audacity, she’s the first herald. Announcing the Good news! “He’s risen!” The sinner forgiven much, loves much. Luke 7:47 Many a person will promise love. But when a woman loves, she loves to bits. Crowned apostle, sweet little pebble. Found Him whom her heart loved. ...

LAME AS ME

Image
My Lord gazes profoundly, a hue of tenderness,           Usually our glances penetrate each other, I deeply gulp.  But this day, shame dwarfs my uncanniness, So that I come reluctant as a dirge I come anyways Lord, lame as me.  I might be filthy, swarmed in grit,  I might be distraught, burdened with regret, I might be violent, me judging me.  For not breaking the bad, but could I ? I come anyways Lord, lame as me.  Didn't you promise, where sin increases, Your grace does too, your highness? Rm 5:20 You have the means to unlock these chains, And free the sinner, burdened by pain.   So I come anyways Lord, lame as me.  For to whom else shall I go? You have the message of eternal life. Jn 6:68  Sr. Esther Koros OSF 0726179789

BESTIE LET ME TELL YOU!

Dear Bestie, My memory belches unpleasant evocations strenuously entered into its reserves. I recall for instance, the snake bite of my aunt, how frightful it must have been for her. I recall my mother’s painful strokes, an astute testifier of using canes on kids, aha! I recall my athletic cousin who duped us into emptying our pockets, only to vanish in the prodigal son’s manner. I recall my step mother, locking up the corn stores so that we starved in my Dad’s absence. I recall my aunt’s disappearance after facing the sharp knife that would end her education. I recall the violence that erupted after one election period scattering us like frightened chicken. I recall these things;  I recall them with a remote lingering haziness that would rather be left alone. I recall these and more, I recall the decisions that emanated from these moments. These experiences were bearable, these memories, melancholic as they sound, are bearable.  But Bestie, let me tell y...
