'Be it done to me according to thy word'


And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word (Lk 1:38, Douay-Rheims).

Concerning the Divine Word

With the divinest Word, the Virgin
Made pregnant, down the road
Comes walking, if you'll grant her
A room in your abode.

( St John of the Cross; translated by Roy Campbell)
