Mary, Mother,
Grace-filled vessel,
Poised throughout your life
To receive God’s word.

Always listening,
By obedience wooing,
From your holy infancy,
Caressing to your heart
The holy Word of God.

You conceived in your heart
Our God eternal,
Before He entered
Your virginal womb.

Grace upon grace
Your beauty unfolded,
In blossom so rare,
Upon this Earth.

Season upon season,
You moved in silence hidden,
In prayer secure.

O Mary Mother,
With kiss so sweet,
lavish upon me
Thy Holy Maternity.

I entrust to your sublimity
My formation within my mother’s womb.
Make happy that dear chamber,
In which my life and love
Were bequeathed and body grown.

“Behold your Mother,”
He said from His Cross.
Now, do I behold you,
And take you to my heart.

Speak here the words
You whispered in Christ’s ear
As He laid his little head
Uon your breast.

Jesus received from you
Milk and kindness
With gentle regard.
Caress now my humanity.

Make me ever your home,
As I welcome you to my soul,
Make me your hearth,
With fires burning bright.

Purify my moments
And sanctify my soul.
By virtue,
Virtue of your wedded Spouse,
Petition the Holy Spirit of Your  Son.

Send angels,  as you once did stewards,
To wait upon the words of your Son.
Miracles followed
On your behest at Cana.

I wait now and ever in your arms,
Embraced as the Christ Child.
Look upon me, dear Mother
And heal my wounded yet happy heart.

O, God, so splendid,
In grace and favor,
Singing to the Cosmos,
A song so powerful,
Yet demure,
A breath
And breeze of Spirit,
Yet, with soul possessed,
Magnifying in holy glance,
And favored grace,
To seed with her seed and fruition, Brethern of the One God Man.

She, who is constancy,
Of need and receptivlty,
Yielded, in obedience,
To the steady abundance,
Of the One Eternal Life,
Fecund in her womb,
As she becomes the womb of all the Holy,
Laboring,
While at rest,
Overshadowed,
Upon His Breast.

A womb of generations of the Holy,
Therein, contained,
At liberty and
unrestrained,
Save by Thy Holy Will.
O, Mary be.

God, so splendid,
In grace and favor,
Sing to the Cosmos,
A song so powerful,
Yet demure,
A breath,
And breeze of Spirit pure.
