A MOTHER’S PRAYER
AS A MOTHER I HAVE COME
TO ASK A FAVOR THRU YOUR SON.
I PRAY THAT YOU WILL INTERCEDE
TO SAVE THE SOULS THAT ARE IN NEED.
ALL OF THE BURDENS I WILL BEAR
TO SAVE THE CHILDREN IN MY CARE.
I ASK YOU, MOTHER, FOR YOUR GRACE
FOR THOSE I BRING THAT YOU EMBRACE.
TO YOU I OFFER THIS INTENTION;
THRU PRAYER I SEEK YOUR INTERVENTION.
AND WHAT GOD CHOOSES TO FULFILL,
I SHALL ACCEPT HIS HOLY WILL.
“I SHED THE TEARS THE SAME AS YOU;
WHAT YOU HAVE ASKED, SO I WILL DO.
MY SON IS MERCIFUL AND KIND;
HAVE FAITH; HE WILL NOT LEAVE THEM BEHIND.”
“THY WILL BE DONE”
