“She is Mary”

She is Mary

She, the long prepared vessel,
The well fashioned holder of our healing, held our Hope.
Yet she is a hope herself.
Nearest to Perfection himself,
She, the perfected offering of creation, bore the one Offering for our perfection.
She is Mary.

Prayer

Mary, Mother of God, lead us by your prayers to your Son and to his mercy, forgiveness, healing, holiness, and love.

In Christ,
Fr. Irenaeus
