A Momentous Moment
From the first moment of her existence the Lord God had a plan,
For this lowly faith-filled girl, the daughter of Joachim and of Ann.
By the Mercy of Christ Jesus on the cross of Calvary’s Hill,
Her body and soul would be protected by the Father’s Divine Will.
Mary grew up in Nazareth a quaint town of Galilee
A place considered obscure and not significant to many.
“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” some would dare to ask
And yet that’s where the Archangel Gabriel went with a very holy task.
In full freedom the young maiden said her “Fiat” on that day
A phrase she would repeat by her actions and whenever she would pray.
Through the sufferings and challenges and the wonders and the woes
Our dear Lady remained faithful through all the highs and the lows.
May this December 8th be a reminder for our lives one and all,
For those of now grown and for those who are still yet small,
That the Lord God has a purpose and a plan for you and me
As we celebrate the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
