Fr. John Foley, S.J. tells a story from a class in English literature that he took as a college freshman from Fr. Robert Boyle…He was a great teacher, without question, but the nub of hisgreatness lay in a statement he often made: "If you want to know what is happening in a work of literature, look at what love is doing."
John Foley, SJCreighton UniversityCenter for Liturgy
Look at what love is doing
Magnificat
My soul magnifies the WordAnd my spirit rejoices in God who loves me.For this God, Who Is, has done great things in me.My heart and my body give breath to the world.My spirit, courageous, gives meaning to hope.The God Who Is tender lives deep in my heart, holds close the children, my gift to creation.Fills friends who hunger with goodness and peace.The God Who Is mercy forgives when I fall,Welcomes my efforts,Heals deepest pain.The God Who Is promise gives life to my word,Gives glory to my life, the life of the world.My name is called blessed on the lips of all ages.Holy is God’s gift.Holy is God’s name.
Margaret Cessna, H.M.
