Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows

Our Lady of Gethsemane,
     Who suffered with our Lord,
Surrender I my fears to thee
      Who bore God ‘s Holy Word.

New Adam’s new humanity
     United in your womb,
Made one with His divinity–
     New Eve shares Adam’s tomb.

In hidden years, so patiently
     You nurtured Him full well
And pondered in humility
     The Truth He died to tell.

Your words, “Be always done to me,”
     Now echo in my ears,
As in mind’s eye your Son I see
     Release His human fears.

His willingness to bear His tree
     Shows His heart’s with yours one;
Your faith shows you are both sin-free:
     Our Eden’s fall undone.
