Are We Truly Free

As Jesus waits patiently
for each of us to seek and find Him,
Mary, His constant advocate (and ours)
guards us with a Mother’s love.
She upholds us,
as any mother does her child,
and pleads we hold our Brother’s hand.
When we listen and obey,
our hearts are satisfied.
And in that moment,
we truly know and love our Father,
and ourselves.
Only then
Are We Truly Free.
