and the below prayer
The Annunciation of My Soul

Meeting of two wondrous beings!
You, oh messenger of light,
swift on wing,
you sought out
the physical incarnation of the
Divine Feminine Mother God,
who long ago
chose Mary as her vessel,
to birth Unconditional Love
in a new way—
for Divine Mother
is the Ultimate Creator,
the Holy Spirit that whispered
through your words, Gabriel,
planted a seed in you, Mary,
and was birthed in you, Christ.
May she speak, plant, and birth
Her unending love
within the depths of my soul.
