What Mary Said After What She Saw {a #poem}
The Christ, as yet unchristened.
The Word as yet unspoken. So His
Mother announced instead,
He has performed mighty deeds with
His arm; He has scattered those who are
proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
He has brought down rulers from their
thrones, but has exalted the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
But has sent the rich away empty. He has
helped His servant Israel, remembering to
to be merciful, as He promised to our Fathers
to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
It is written. It is said. It is done.
Before our Lord’s first cry, we’d already won.

Mary’s song is from Luke 1:46-55
