Mary, chosen handmaid of the Lord
A vessel of grace, obedient and adored
In her humble heart, the Word was sown
And through her, the Light of the world was known
With a yes so pure, she accepted the call
To be the mother of Christ, the Savior of all
Her faith, a model for all of us to see
A total and unreserved yes to God\'s decree
Through her, the Spirit descended and dwelled
In her womb, the Messiah\'s story was spelled
She bore the Son of God with love and grace
And in her, the world found its saving embrace
Oh, Mary, mother so gentle and kind
Your faith and obedience forever entwined
Teach us to say yes to God\'s will each day
And let his Light shine through us in every way
May we open our hearts to divine grace
And become instruments of God\'s love in this place
Like Mary, may we heed the call and be
A reflection of Christ for all to see. (\"Mary\") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
