MARY
She stands at the crossroads
Of time and eternity
Intersection of all creation
A desire as old as Eden
Burning in her soul
The yearning of every child
Who has graced the earth
Embodiment of humanity's Hope
Of Redemption, Restoration
She has held in her heart
The wandering aridity
Of the desert and there
He comes to find
Lifting her up and keeping
Her the apple of His eye
Humanity has found
A response to God in her
From her is deliverance
Brought forth in Christ
In whom we are born and breathe
Our perfect peaceful consummation
Healing for our scars

As a Prayer
Mary,
Of time and eternity
Intersection of all creation
A desire as old as Eden
Burning in your soul
The yearning of every child
Who has graced the earth
Embodiment of humanity's Hope
Of Redemption, Restoration
You have held in your heart
The wandering aridity
Of the desert and there
God comes to find
Lifting you up and keeping
You the apple of His eye
Humanity has found
A response to God in you
From you is deliverance
Brought forth in Christ
In whom we are born and breathe
Our perfect peaceful consummation
Healing for our scars
Amen!

The words are very beautiful and touch my heart with wonder and love. Mary knows aridity and knows the joy of giving birth to Jesus. She is our Mother and shows us the way.
ReplyDeleteJohn was in Hastings at one time. I phoned him there on my way back to Africa. I can imagine how beautiful the place is. It is good for you to be alone. God is with you.
Love and prayers, Margaret Anne
