Immaculate Conception

His Spirit hovers over Anna’s womb,
Brings Him who-is-to-come made present now–
Will pass through stable, Cross, and empty tomb
And is the One before whom angels bow. 

The Father breathes the Spirit with His Son
Who sacrificed Himself for all of us
To make the nature He Himself has won
And will in His divinity place trust.

This nature of a maiden here conceived
Will be the Mother of our Savior–comes
As Baby in her womb whom she receives
So He may one of us through her become. 

Immaculate without sin she is born;
With human nature she her Son adorns.
