Here is a poem I wrote a few yMARY – MOTHER OF VIRTUE AND LOVE
           by Bishop Ogles

 

 


Here is a poem I wrote a few years back to honor Mary as the blessed Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ: (J. Ogles)

 

MARY – MOTHER OF VIRTUE AND LOVE


A precious virgin, sweet and gracious

Lived in ancient Galilee.

She was by parents loved and precious

Praying oft on bended knee.


Virtue, love, and grace possessed her

As she dreamed of things to be,

Never guessing of the splendor

Of the visions she would see.


In the lonely hours of even

As she labored all alone

Came a glowing glorious Being

Whose brightness through the shadows shown. 


Lo, now Virgin, God is with thee

Spake the Angel, Gabriel

“Hail, thou that art highly favoured,” 

As with fright her face grew pale.


“Fear not, Mary.” Came the answer

As her soul drew comfort then.

You shall soon conceive the Savior

Gods own Son, and Son of Man.


The Holy Spirit shall o’er-shadow

And come upon you as you sleep.

Soon the promise of the Father

He shall in your Baby keep.


Blessed above all other women

Shall you be henceforth anon.

And angelic choirs of Heaven

Shall proclaim His coming soon.


Many years of love and caring

Did this blessed Mother spend

On her Son Most Holy, guarding

Until at Calvary came the End.


Twas not the End, but the Beginning,

As He died upon the tree.

His death assured His victory winning

As Mary’s heart was pierced with grief.


His disciples shared in sorrow

Those three days and nights of grief.

But the sunrise at the Garden

Brought a joy beyond belief. 


See poor Mother, bent and weeping

As this news is told her now.

Empty Tomb and Risen Savior

Proves the Truth of Heaven’s Vow.


Kindly Mother, gentle Mary,

How with love we think of thee

Now no longer need you tarry

By the open Tomb to see.


Were all mothers fair and lovely

And with virtue, love, and grace,

To nurture up their sons and daughters.

This would be a better place.
