O Blessed Virgin
in whose womb was conceived
the only Son of God,
who by such grace
has brought salvation
to our race…
What faith is yours
in God the Father!
What power is upon you
by the Holy Spirit!
What unutterable wonder we find
in your Son!
How is it one of our own number
could give birth
to our Creator?
Such glorious union
with the Godhead
we could never merit
nor discover
except that the Lord
has chosen you –
pray this day
He shall be born in us, too.
