My Journey to God

Gabriel Wept

Hail Mary, full of grace ...
I delivered the loving message
of my Creator and my God
to the gentle virgin, Mary.

I saw the shock and confusion
pass over Mary’s face.
“How can this be?”
You will be overshadowed by the Holy Spirit.

The words that fell from her lips said “Yes”
to the salvation of the world.
“Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Let it be done unto me ...”
I wept tears of joy.

Conceived in her womb,
fully human, fully God,
the soul and body of Jesus,
the Messiah, the Word Incarnate.
I knelt in awe and adoration
before my Creator and my God.
