Our Lady Guadalupe, Mystic Rose,
Whose light reflects the light of Savior Son,
Brings light to us who carry our dark load
Of illness in Eve’s nature was begun,
Brings Second Adam to our fallen state
To rescue Image by our Father sown.
We’re tarnished by the fruit First Adam ate–
All us who by Him are as persons known.
He saves us by His life in womb you bear,
Who wipes away our darkness with His Cross
And raises us to breathe pure heaven’s air–
Will burnish us within, remove sin’s dross.
May your Son enter us who lives in you,
As you, our Mother, with Him make us new.
