Here, Fr. Alozie Eugene I. Poetizes on a discovered deep relationship between Lent and the Holy Mary
LENT AND MARY
No holy mother ever collaborates with an evil child.
But the Holy Mary met with Jesus on the way to Golgotha
Insinuating that family has issue with the ordeals of the child.
So the presence of the Holiest Mother on the way to Golgotha.
Really smells how holy are the child and his cross
Behold She in dazzling mantles of her glory.
Clothed in purity aglow with loving mercy so holy.
Staggering now in pains along the rocky way.
Bathed in Ocean of tears and piercing sorrows to sway.
Thus telling all and sundry to follow the way of the cross.
This match of Mary, holiest mother and virgin.
Worn and torn with the son, appears mission driven.
For even she was once forced to flee to Egypt to save him.
Points a finger, not just to collaborate with him.
But mirrors future Christians carry the same burden.
Mary’s body and mantle sparkled in lights and blood.
As her holy presence announces the fecundity of the cross.
And when the son and mother glanced at each without a word.
Her heart tore realizing its her own flesh and blood in dross.
Then the queen of Angels wept not saying a word.
