DIVINE MOTHERHOOD

January 1, 2015

Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God

In the fullness of the appointed time

The virgin became a mother

But the mother remained a virgin

Whose womb became the New Ark

Pure, immaculate and undefiled

Holding not the tablets but the Word.

As she gave flesh to divinity

She gave birth to her Creator

Who created her to be his mother

Then God became a human pilgrim

That the new humanity may be born
Through the fertile womb of Mary

- Fr. Vladimir Echalas, SOLT -
