December 8th

 

 

The Immaculate Conception    

 

 

Today is the feast of The Immaculate Conception---the day we officially

Honor Mary for giving birth to Jesus.  For saying yes to God when

All others would have said no

 

As far as I know, there are no other virgin births.  But I would

Like to pay tribute to all those women who have spent their life

Devoted to their family, devoted to their man, and devoted to

Their children.

 

And to all those women who have tried.

 

 

Follow with the poem “Mary”

“Mary”

 

 

Mary was a woman

Of pure grace

She said yes

When all others

Would have said no

 

She had

The faith in God

To say yes

When all others

Would  have said no

 

Today--Mary-- on your birthday     ( feast day  )

We thank you

For your faith

We thank you

For your pure grace

And most of all

We thank you

For saying yes

When all others

Would have said no
