For Archivists of
Congregations of Women Religious
Lord,
let us remember that
the trailblazers of yesterday
Are our traditions today
Boxed and labeled and catalogued
They leap from our shelves
Our forebears who fashioned
new stories to tell.
Their
spirit escapes in new
patterns, new plans
Our web site of findings that
links and expands
To whatever the future is
waiting to give.
Lord,
let your Spirit spur us
To tell the pulse of our work
In our quest for the best.
Amen.
