poem for 4th Sunday in Advent Luke 1:39-55

 Blessed be Mary the Mother of God

and blessed be the fruit of thy womb

Jesus

God has done great things

and will do great things

for this one

for us

The world will be changed

from what was

to

what will be

And Justice will roll down like an ever flowing stream

in a land parched by divisions

and hatred

us and them

war

My spirit rejoices in my Savior

who has come

that all might live

that I might be changed

from what was to what is

That I might have the strength

to fill the hungry with good things

through the one who is to come

Hail Mary, full of grace

You have brought into the world

the one who will never again

leave it

the way it was
