Ponder the treasure, in your heart:
Gabriel’s message; the glorious dark;
the dangerous road and Joseph’s care;
the magi’s star; the shepherds’ prayer.
Ponder the treasure in your heart:
Simeon’s promise at the start of
what will prove your wounded way
by a piercing sword of a noon dark day.
Ponder the treasure in your heart:
the empty tomb; the Pentecost spark;
the spiritual fire that catches light
in all baptized by your Son’s life.
Ponder the treasure in your heart:
still full of grace you take your part,
as heavenly Mother, source of prayer
for all who seek God’s tender care.
Words: Andrew Hawes (1954 – )
