For Mary, Mother of all Peoples

For all nations to walk by His glorious Light, 
her “eclipse” attracts us to His beautific sight

Mary, our Mother, clothed with the Son, 
“eclipsing” the Light to illumine the One

Who is, at times, too bright to view, 
in all that is good, beautiful, and true

It’s not my place to define or explain, 
what the Father’s heart knows —to the devotee —is plain

Accepted with love by Pope Saint John Paul the Second, 
the sense of the faithful long has reckoned  

An opinion true, courageous, and prudent, 
the dogma lives loud in the Mariology student

Pondering with Mary, at school in her heart, 
trusting the process —like her— is a start

To understand His Divine Wisdom, through her, 
we know: the Holy Spirit will reveal what is apropos
