Poem

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…” *

Favored! Highly favored! Blessed.
Often put to the test.
Often pondering things in her heart.

God didn’t leave her wondering
but turn after turn there were signs.

Her relative, Elizabeth, in her old age
had conceived and the baby in her womb
leaped for joy in the presence
of Mary’s unborn baby boy, and
Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,

“Blessed is she who has believed
that what the Lord has said to her
will be accomplished.” 

How did Mary tell her intended?
She was found to be with child.
He intended to divorce her.

Joseph slept on his decision.
An angel of the Lord appeared 
in his dream - how vividly -
commanded to take
Mary as his wife. . .

“Joseph, son of David…”
“Do not be afraid…”
“What is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit…”
son, Jesus, “will save his people from their sins”

After Jesus’ birth, nearby
shepherds struck in awe of
angels, proclaiming the birth.
They hurried to find the Christ child.
And once more it is said:
Mary treasured up all these things
and pondered them in her heart.

In the temple, the Holy Spirit
reveals — to righteous and devout Simeon
and the fasting, prayer warrior, worshipper Anna
— this is the One

The child’s father and mother
(Mary and Joseph)
marveled at what was said about him
(Jesus)

Magi followed a star to find the child.
These wise men bowed down and worshipped him.
They gave gifts of gold, incense and myrrh.

Joseph dreams again.
This time the family’s told to flee to Egypt,
to escape danger.

Believe!
There are signs!
Ponder!
