Mary’s Month
With spring on the wing comes the Spouse of the Spirit, pregnant with God-made Man. Warmly caressing, O what a blessing transforming the whole of earth’s span.
She tiptoes o’er bushes and trees, in a gentle breeze. The singing of birds, the buzzing of bees. She passes in flight in a ray of sunlight.
Finger-prints here, fingerprints there, flowering, fragrant. Oh what a delicate hue.
You know, Mary is our Mother too.
