Day One of Thirty Days with Mary

LAUDS - DAWN

Oh Mary Gate of the New Dawn

come to me

Oh Mother of both night and day

come to me

The blackness burns until only white bones remain

glimmering in the Light of new possibilities

I follow your black cloak down the well of the night

You receive me once more

as we await the New Dawn

Ave Maria

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

 Blessed art thou among women 

And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. 

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

 Pray for us bodhisattvas of love 

Now and ever as we shine 

With virtue, health and life. (3x).

I AM teaching sentient beings. (4x)

 I AM a being of golden fire.

 I AM the wisdom God desires. (2x)

 I AM a being of violet fire.

 I AM the freedom God desires. (2x)
