Mother Mary

Mary, be my mother,
And fill me with a love
For Jesus, your son,
A love that will give me
the grace and strength
To handle whatever comes.

Take my prayers to Jesus
For he always honored you,
And watch over my family,
Let me entrust them to you.

Mary, be my mother,
As I offer prayers above
Help me to be devoted to Jesus
And to always show his love.
