SINCE PARENTHOOD BEGAN
MOTHER AND CHILD ARE INSEPARABLE
SINE QUA NON
MARY WAS GIVEN THE TITLE THEOTOKOS
WHICH MEANS GOD BEARER
HER MAGNIFICAT PREDICTS
THAT ALL GENERATIONS SHALL CALL ME BLESSED
WE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK
WOULD DO WELL TO PAY HEED
THE CHILD THAT MARY BORE IN HER WOMB
HAD TWO NATURES
HUMAN AND DIVINE
A FACT IF WE BELIEVE IN THE INCARNATION
MANY WOULD RELEGATE MARY TO OBSCURITY
EXCEPT FOR THE SINGING OF AVE MARIA
FEW KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORDS
OR ITS RELEVANCE
BUT AS GOD AT THE BEGINNING SAID BEGIN
CREATION CAME INTO BEING
MARY SAID FIAT
AND GOD-MAN BECAME FLESH IN MARY’S WOMB
SHE IS THE MODEL FOR ALL OF US
TRUSTING IN GOD
AND HIS WORD
EVEN WHEN THE FUTURE LOOKS DARK
HOLD ONTO HIS WORD
WE LIKE MARY
ARE IN GREAT TRAVAIL
FOR GOD WILL BE BORN INTO THE WORLD
THROUGH US
GOD WAITS OUR FIAT
