Mornings with Mary: Kissing the Face of God

Imagine such an awesome kiss,

being pressed on the face of our Savior!

What was Mary thinking as she

kissed and cuddled this Babe in her arms?

Would fear have entered into her mind,

or was there only the sheer delight

in holding her Divine Child?

We know that she pondered

all that the angel Gabriel announced to her

because the Bible tells us that.

But, in this moment,

did she just give thanks that

Jesus had arrived intact

with no harm done on their long journey

to Bethlehem?

I hope that she was only giving thanks,

unaware of all the trials 

she would suffer as the Mother of God.

Go here for how Weistling was inspired

to paint this exquisite art.
