Golgotha’s Mary


By Pavel Chichikov

Not alone to shepherds or in caves

No burning cherub or Creator's slave

But one of us, Mater Creatoris

Not alone to victims or to innocents

You also come to help impenitents

And prisoners, Mater Salvatoris

Not alone to save the faithful weak

But those who crucify you also seek

To hear them, Consolatrix afflictorum

Not alone to heal infected hope

And those condemned to bullet or to rope

But also killers, Salus infirmorum

Gentle and forgiving the unloved

We hear you in the pitying of doves

And follow you, Regina Angelorum
