Marianne dashwood as portrayed by Kate Winslet in sense and sensibility also quotes sonnet 116, and that was my inspiration for memorizing it!
I love all of Madeleine L’Engle’s poetry - her faith poems, her love poems - but “Act III, scene ii” sticks with me the most. (Online quoted here, I do not know or endorse this random blog necessarily!) https://www.sallywessely.com/blog/2012/03/act-iii-scene-ii.html
Well what should have taken me a few minutes has filled the last half hour as I learn of new Poets, or relive the old. I had read the airport poem before, and am again startled by its beauty.
Speaking of John Donne, may I recommend the book "Undone, A Modern Reading of John Donne'S Devotions" by Phillip Yancy.
Erin, thank you for sharing some of your favorites. I also have not seen 'Wit' but do love Emma Thompson--I'll have to check it out.
Of course some of my favorites are poems I've written; however, from my favorite female faith poets (all contemporary) I'd have to choose anything by Luci Shaw (who I need to add to my list!)

Oh, I can’t believe I didn’t remember that. I love that film adaptation.

I need to read more of Luci Shaw’s work!
Oh, there's lots to choose from :-) https://lucishaw.com/
What a masterful scene. I’ve never seen the movie “Wit,” but I so enjoyed the clip you shared. I may need to add that to my watch list.
It’s really really good!
