An Advent Contemplative Morning: Mary’s Song ~ A Cry of Hope and Resilience
Maria DiBello, RSM
December 10, 2025
My soul cries out with a joyful shout
That the God of my heart is great
And my spirit sings of the Wondrous things

Canticle of the Turning
In the noisy hostility of our world’s chaos, come, rest in the silent wonder that unleashed Mary’s beautiful, prophetic song.

Scripture, music and image will hold us in the quiet.
