Dear God,

It seems to me, O Lord, that the world is renewing itself. Ideas which were not formed are coming together to create. To participate in this process is like being at creation's beginning.

I am working with three other women to design a retreat. All are Catholic; one is a sister. Women Wrapped in Grace is intended to give women an experience of divine grace, that wholly holy gesture of supreme love. I am drawn into it myself for my own continuing encounters with you.

I find this work an exceptional episode of grace itself. The inner workings of your spirit is something to behold, to gaze with wonder and amazement brings a unique kind of joy. I am grateful to be on the inside creating with you.

To make something
out of nothing
is an act
of creation
lead by
your hand.
I revel
in moments
like these
because I know
you are guiding
the process.
Thank you
for making me
a co-creator
with you,
a very
small one
to be sure,
yet a partner.

Love, Andrea
