Mary’s Daughters

O Mary, I see present in my time
Your presence in my sisters in the Faith,
Unfocused there but none-the-less a sign—
Your advent brought to us by your Son’s grace—
For they respond but do not understand
Your mother’s heart that grows within their breasts
And think they must compete with every man,
Not knowing you’re the goal of their heart’s quest.
O may they soon discover your pure heart
In them and lead all men to your heart greet,
That all may take your humble handmaid’s part
And in our hearts the heart of Jesus meet.
O Mary, may your daughters—sisters all—
Learn now that all may you their Mother call.
