Analysis of Fourth Station
Padraic Colum 1881 (County Longford) – 1972 (Enfield)
Jesus His Mother meets:
She looks on Him and sees
The Savior in Her Son:
The Angel's word comes back:
Within her heart she says,
"Unto me let this be done!"
Still is she full of grace.
By us, too be it one,
That grace that brings us revelation!
