Mother Divine

Divine Mother, You know everything. You know what I am What I seek, What I will never ever get. So Mother Dear, What shall I pray of thee. Nothing for me. Everything for this world. Thy kindness makes the world a better place. In spite of the greenhouse effect And the ozone hole. In spite of hurricanes and tsunamis In spite of wars and the economy Love this world Mother, For this word has only You to love it.

Healer of sorrows You make other sorrows Trivial with the burden of Your own unquenchable grief. Your fortitude emboldens All mankind. Blessed Mother of all creation Be our guide And mentor

When Prayers fail When the heart trembles When the unknown beckons You are my strength When I err When I fear When I doubt You are my belief When I rejoice When I sin When I wander You hold my rein

Mother I wonder about your mystery And I find myself wondering even more No Thought, no Reason can contain you I bow before you

Blessed Mother, Ever so caring Forever loving Before you I am nothing I ask for nothing You know everything, mother. Grant bountifully as you always do To your children Great and small. I do the only thing I can do. I say, Thank you for everything. Even your punishments Have the sweetness of a mother's admonitions. Thank you, mother of mankind. Glorious And sweet.

"The night is far spent. The day is at hand." (Romans 13:12). Mother dear, You told me this. Why ? I see nothing but darkness all around. Not a hint of dawn. Not a hint of light. Mother of Light, if it pleases you, Shed upon all The light of your beatitude, The light of your glory.

Divine Mother. I am confused And gnawed by doubts. Mother, You reside in me. I belong to you. Show me the way. My mind is numb. Thought leads me nowhere. Mother of all worlds You are beyond thought. Your ways are mysterious, Like that of your Son's Father. You baffle me. But be merciful. Do not taunt me so.
