The poem in this week’s issue is one that I believe best befits the commemoration of this beautiful upcoming holiday—a piece in which I pay homage to THE
GREATEST OF ALL MOTHERS, past, present, and future.
In Praise of Our Blessed Mother
Of all women
You and You alone
art The Mother of God
(The All Holy Thotokos)
and—
a mother
by nature,
ceaselessly praying
for us,
leaving no one
unaided
who flees
to Your side—
for You are as one
having experienced
all the hardships
of earthly life—

hearing every groan
every entreaty
directed to
You!
Glory be to Thee!
Glory be to Thee!
Glory be to Thee.
