Conceptus Aeternus
(Jer. 20:17 Latin Vulgate)

Before…(yet) beyond all time,
In Holy Word Divine,
The loving image of me,
Was known in Eternity.

Then willed forth into time, I found into my own.
Gift of conception in flesh, a new soul was sown.

Immortal conception, a mystery sublime,
Now the loving image of Him is known in time.


(This is a pro-life theme as ‘the fetus is talking’. Some applicable Scripture verses are, Jer.1:5 and Jer. 31:3 and Titus 1:2,3 and John 17:6 and Ephes. 1:4,5)
