Our Evening Prayer and Ansai reminds us that to have nothing is to possess all – that the gift of paradox is to see the way down can be the way up, that a broken heart is the healed spirit and sometimes to bear the cross is to wear the crown. Ansai prays for Christ’s light in our darkness and his glory in our darkest valleys, she reminds us that hope is like a stream as it wears away stone and prays that we may reshape our world together, to reflect God’s kingdom of hope for all on International Women’s Day.
