Announcing!
‘Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.’ And the angel departed from her.
Mary’s response to the Angel Gabriel is one of faith and devotion. It is one of trusting fidelity. It is one of love, pure love.
We love statues, artwork portraying Jesus, Mary and the saints. Devotion to Mary has resulted in beautiful images of her, drawing those who look, deeper into the mystery of faith, closer to Christ who is the very object of art dedicated to Mary. This is so because it is Christ who has motivated Mary and subsequently produced people to create statues and artwork in the centuries that have followed.
The meeting with the Angel Gabriel is a wonderful moment in our salvation history. This meeting has inspired me during this Advent to write this poem as a response of love to the meeting, a response that draws me deeper into the mystery of Christ.
Announcing!
In a half-lit room, prayer illumines the dawning of a dancing new morning
Awakening love within this fragile vessel of humanity, covering, enveloping
Mary, the maiden whispers salutations, utters cries of devotion and praise
In a wonderous moment, a surrounding of light, Angel Gabriel’s visiting haze
Heavenly words are spoken, a melody intoxicating, pouring forth, exuberating!
Her heart is ready, expectant prayerful, a picture of humanity silently waiting.
‘Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.’ And the angel departed from her.
