Cradle to grave

Mary’s boy’s Faith

Her baby once full of life

Stripped bare to ribs for Israel’s strife

Had the Lord not promised her a King?

Now she watched as the tomb shut sting

All who had hailed “full of grace”

Must console her stricken phase

"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen."
