The Child we seek doesn't need our gold.
On love, on love alone he will build his kingdom.
His piercéd hand will hold no scepter,
his haloed head will wear no crown;
his might will not be built on your toil.
Swifter than lightning he will soon walk among us.
He will bring us new life and receive our death,
and the keys to his city belong to the poor.
Gian Carlo Menotti, Amahl and the Night Visitors
Dear Mary, Loving Mother of Our Savior, lead us to the Child we seek, your Son Jesus, the King of Love. Amen.
