Her Eyes of Loving Faith

So blessed are Mary’s eyes that did not see
Yet see through loving heart that has believed,
For you who held His Body from the Tree
Knew life that came to Him who was conceived
In your fresh womb by Holy Spirit’s breath
Would rise again and not be held by death. 

Through faith in Him you came to understand,
See His new Risen Life with Spirit’s eyes.
You did not need by empty tomb to stand
To see with Magdalene where He did lie,
Then gaze upon His Body now is raised—
Makes empty here what was His once-filled grave.

At Pentecost, your Nazareth faith confirmed
As Spirit fell on those who had not seen
But trusted those who saw with hearts that burned
From Spirit’s breath, a gift to all: now gleaned
The truth you see through faith that in your womb
Was He conceived now risen from His tomb.
