Mary’s Remnant

In Mary’s remnant now is magnified
The goodness of created human race:
New Eve sin free, since First had all disgraced,
By God’s own Son her womb is sanctified
When she’s conceived through Joachim’s, Anna’s act.
In love, His myth God makes to be a fact.

In Mary’s blood flows choice of Israel
With Noah’s Ark and Rainbow ‘cross earth’s sky—
Refined, now pure from Satan’s garden lie
And First Eve’s choice made human race all ill.
Now one is washed, anticipates our end
Made pure by Son through whom new world begins—

Untwisted what had been by Satan turned,
Made vicious in its soiled, contorted state,
Now straight with virtue to become God’s gate;
He comes to claim His own who Him had spurned.
Her human “yes” is music for God’s ears:
A song to dry all Eve-made human tears.
