Mens Mariae/ La mente de María/ Mary's Mind


Annunciation, Nicolas Poussin, 1657


Verbum habitavit in mentem Mariae 

prius quam ad ventrem appropinquavit,

sed in carne Verbum gestis movet 

ut in mentem nostram germinetur.



El Verbo moraba en la mente de María  

antes de acercarse a su vientre,

pero por nosotros en carne se mueve

para acercarse a nuestra mente.



The WORD in Mary's mind did dwell

before to her womb he drew near

but for us he moves in flesh

that to the WORD we might rise and see clear.
