The Assumption

 

 

 

 

He has brought down the mighty from their throne.
And exalted those of humble estate.
Now we never need be alone.
We have entered in our mind a new state.

We all knelt at the consecration.
Adoring the raised host.
The Carabiniere stood to attention.
In Spoletto cathedral none of us felt lost.

But it was Mary’s song.
That struck me profoundly.
Here was the truth for which we long.
We left that place gratefully.

Mary we felt is the mother of God.
And he is here among us, God.

….

Mary, God’s mother
Is thus truly always here
This we surely know
