This is the image of our Queen
Who reigns in bliss above
Of her who is the hope of men
Whom men and angels love,
Most holy Mary! at thy feet
I bend a suppliant knee
In this thy own sweet month of May
Dear mother of my God, I pray
Do thou remember me!
Let us pray:
O God, You gave Your Holy Spirit to Your Apostles while they were at prayer with Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Grant through her intercession, that we may serve You faithfully, and by our words and our deeds, spread the glory of Your name. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
That's a beautiful prayer (and a lovely picture!)
ReplyDeleteFor all your pleas of not being able to piece together a decent blog...I think you're succeeding pretty well without trying!!
ReplyDeleteI thank God for your family's deep faith and only wish mine was as deep. You put we cradle Catholics to shame!! (and rightly so!)
May Our Lady in this month of May crown every good deed you do, with her own prayers to her Son. She'll no doubt steer you, your wife and your little Maddy (looking rather good as a ballerina here!!) and any other children her Son gives you, to your Heavenly reward!
Here's to hoping you manage to drag the rest of us along with you!
with prayers for the future.
M
