Blessed Mary, through your “yes” you offer all
Baptized to be with you—the ones who bear
God’s Son to save His world that lives in fear
Of death, which casts o’er all of us its pall
And causes us to further in sin fall,
Yet weep, because we do, more bitter tears.
For we in Image left hold life so dear
And know that death is not God’s final call.

Blessed Mary, pray that we may through you give
With ready hearts ourselves and consecrate
Those hearts to You to aid you in your task:
To bring to all of us His life who lives
Through you, then us, and raises Eden’s gate
To Tree of Life—no longer wears death’s mask.

CLEANSING FIRE

Across the years, your Church is radiant
With your light, shines through lives of all your saints,
As rainbow colors over earth they paint–
That we no longer be somnambulant
In night of sin, our storms no more lament
But greet your dawn with hearts no longer faint;
For see we now in them there’s no sin’s taint,
Your saints for whom the veil is finally rent.
Come, Father, make each be as one of them
To in your mercy wear Son’s Bloody crown
And die our deaths on Calvary with Him
That we may wear your Church’s wedding gown,
Join tongues with theirs to sing with angel choirs–
At last are cleansed by Holy Spirit’s fire.
