PRAISE FOR WOMEN

“Native women are Smart and when they are educated in their childhood acquire the habits of morality surprisingly”

“He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha kum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!” (Mark 5, 41)

I praise you Lord of tenderness
For your liberating proximity.
Thank you for the women
That you have place in my life
My grandmother, devotee of
Virgen del Yugo.
Ramona, mi beloved mother.
Roca, my Good sister.
Aunt Catalina, my counselor.
Lady Carmen, mother of the
Missionaries.
Ascension Nicol, friend
And companion of the project
Paz, Visitacion, Candelaria
Aurora and Angela and
Each of the missionaries
Who tune in to a dream
Of educating Amazon
Chidren.
Thank you Lord
For the native
girls and women,
for their strength and intelligence.
I praise you Lord
For the women
Because they are
The germ of transformation.
Thank you, Lord, for the misisionaries
Who answered generously
To the call of the jungle.
Only they can penetrate
In the heart of the Amazon woman
And reveal their dignity.
Only they, with their kindness and patience
They can awake their best talents
And set them free.
Only they can announce
The God of love.
Mother of the Rosary
Intercede for your daughters
Give them much energy
And strength
So they do not loose heart
In the mission that your Son
Blesses and loves.

Amen
