Her name is invoked in the fire’s shadow,
praying with the virgin, with our Mother,
in power to steady trembling hands,
a shield of protection we carry with us,
she stands eternally with the wounded
holding fast the grieving, the broken,
Mary, the Mother of God…
Remembered for that moment
of hope, of joy, of submission,
changing time forever, conception,
her vessel, Mary, the handmaiden,
a willing child, God’s servant,
in her name we find strength,
Mary, the Mother of God…
Called by the angel, she answered—
her courage cradled eternity, the infinite,
her faith opened the path of salvation,
overshadowed, yet steadfast, faithful,
she bore the weight of the world’s hope,
her baby, our Savior, the Christ,
Mary, the Mother of God…
Each moment she is beside us, watching,
with Christ, the Spirit, the eternity of God,
our Mother, Mary, the virgin who suffered,
for she knows our journey, our struggle,
with us in the trenches, in the battles,
in the crucible of history, this moment,
Mary, the Mother of God…
