Mary’s Love
(by Sr. Barb Krakora)
Inviting God's Spirit within her womb.
Defying cultural norms.
Nurturing life in Nazareth.
Searching for a lost Son.
Stepping back to ponder.
Allowing Him to grow.
Encouraging His evolving awareness.
Holding His pain in her heart.
Breaking at His final sacrifice.
Believing beyond the reality that surrounded her.
All for love of her Son.
It's what mothers do.
