Life entanglements
one gives way to another
only God remains...

Though seen as work of the hands
Is act of the heart

Divided in attention
Desire for wholeness.

Work's, more than labor,
It's our participation
In God's creating.

The Mother nurtures
Her Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord
The Church, His Body

One with God - the same life-breath
Let God breathe through us
