CANTICLE: A SONG OF NEW BEGINNINGS
I will be like the dew to Israel;
he shall blossom like the lily,
he shall strike root like a great forest.
They shall blossom like the vine,
their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
John
Ruth 4:11-17
Helen
O praise the name of the Lord.
from this time forward and for ever.
let the name of the Lord be praised.
and his glory is above the heavens.
in heaven or upon the earth,
Helen
yet condescends to look on things beneath?
and lifts the poor from out of the dungheap;
even among the princes of his people.
and makes her a joyful mother of children.
Praise the Lord.

• Reflect on what it has meant to say yes to God in becoming an OLM
• What it means to say yes to be here
• What is God asking you to say yes to now
