Tender Mother

Holy Mother,
tender you are
as you cradle
your son,

our Way.

As you kiss
his lips,
receiving
his breath,

you remain
full
of God,
full
of love.

As you have
conceived
and given birth
to love,

you invite us into

the intimacy
of Love's embrace,
the joy
of Love's kiss,
the fullness
of Love's breath,

to conceive
of Christ
who is Love.
