MARY’S HOLINESS

Seek holiness of heart and life,
And Mary you will find,
For she was first to bring Christ’s light
     To fallen humankind.

His light shined first in Anna’s womb
     When Mary was conceived
To penetrate our eastern gloom:
     His nature she received.

Her sinless nature made her free
     To answer angel, “yes.”
Her holiness we all can see
     When we are on a quest—

A quest for holiness ourselves
     As Christ uniquely lives
In each to bring us Mary’s wealth:
     His Nature from her gives.
