Mary

By The Rev. Claudia Demick

Sing praises to God little Mary.
Sing songs of acceptance of God’s presence.
Sing what God has done for you
And for all the generations
Of humanity.
You do not sing
Of what God has done to you–
Not you!
In your child-like wisdom
You see
That God’s Incarnation
Through you
Is for you
And for all.
The lowly are raised up!
The poor are no longer invisible!
Their cries have been heard,
And a Savior will come
Through you, gentle girl.
A Savior for them,
And for you,
For all…
Blessed be God’s name indeed!
And blessed be you, dear Mary.
Blessed are you
For saying,
“Yes!”
