Mary of the incarnation, youthful mother of her King, listening, trusting, traveling, working: see her wonder, hear her sing! O for such a mind as Mary's, sharing memory, word and sign, quick to learn, by speech or silence, where the water flows as wine! Mary of the crucification, warned of this hear-rendering role, following close where nails and scourges tear her Son and pierce her soul. O for such a love as Mary's, costly, pure, enduring long, sharing threats and thorns and darkness, when most helpless, then most strong! Mary of the resurrection, true disciple, Spirit- born: all her joy is God her Saviour; blessed is she who learned to mourn! O for such a faith as Mary's, life that death cannot erase, greeting new-found brothers, sisters, one in Christ for prayer and praise!
