Friday of the 1st week of Advent

I am the handmaid of the Lord , said Mary.
Let what you have said be done to me.
To our fate are we wary.
From fate do we flee .As bees fly to nectar .
And as they spread pollen.
Do we seek our sublime protector.
Or do we remain amongst the  fallen.

If an angel came to our house.
And gave us a choice.
Would we be as weak as a mouse.
Or find our true voice.

Would we say , I am the handmaid of the Lord.
And , however difficult, take up our sword.

………

If an angel came
What would we say to him, her
Would it be a yes

……..

See Luke 1: 26-38
