There is this One who knows all mysteries

And who embraced them from eternity:

And this the same One, the Father’s Word, He is-

Splendor, that Word, of His Divinity.

See that One come, with love’s excess,

With charity so urgent! Say:

Son of the Father’s tenderness-

God gives us Him on this great day:

O Word! May- lifelong now-

I listen to You! So possessed by You,

That how to love be all I know.

Amo Christum.

Mother of God, tell me your mystery:

Of how your earthly life was spent: the way –

Right from the time of the Fiat,-how you’d be

Buried in adoration, Mary. Say

How -in a peace, a silence-, you

(What mystery!) could enter in

To deeps that none but you could do –

Bearing the gift of God within.

Secure in God’s embrace

Keep me, I ask. In me

His imprint may He place-

For wholly Love is He.

Amo Christum

 Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity
