Obedient Love

Obedient Love
O Mary,
In an immense effort of obedient love,
You accept us,
You adopt us
With maternal tenderness.

From this day forward, may my heart accept as brothers
All those that Jesus wishes to send me,
And let my obedience in conquering what I find repugnant
Take your obedience to Jesus as its model,
The One who adopted those who killed him.
Venerable Emmanuel d'Alzon (1810-1880)
founder of the Assumptionists
