Mary: Our Beginning and End

In Mary, see beginning and our end—
Conception pure and bodily assumed.
Salvation reaches back where we first bloomed
To Garden where in Adam, Eve begins
All human life—with Satan did contend
And promise made through Eve that we weren’t doomed,
But saving grace would come through that blessed womb
In Mary, whose own Son takes Eve with Him.
Yes, Mary has become our looking glass
To Alpha and Omega clearly see,
For Eve and Adam once again made pure
As Jesus’ nature through her reaches past
To draw into His end all there will be
With Him; through her, salvation now made sure.
