The Rev. Anna E. Rossi

While sanitized in later Western art and dogma, Mary of Nazareth came of age in the soot of collective bondage. The probable facts of her life and the strength of her speech testify to God's power and possibility in the most unlikely places. In a key scene in Luke's Gospel, we see Mary climb a hill and then pronounce a visionary poem about God's transforming power. Mary's climb echoes that of inaugural poet Amanda Gorman. Together, these women propose a bold future, from which our fears need not separate us.

I will quote and reference Amanda Gorman’s The Hill We Climb
