Blessed Mother, Great and Holy One
Hear your daughter

Give me guidance in the turmoil of daily life
Show me how to be more understanding of others

Open your arms and embrace me

Teach me to embrace others inspite of
their faults as you have me

Guide me in teaching others tolerance
and love for all things

Help me to teach my children about your
love and help me to show them your
nurturing ways

Allow me to draw your light into my life
that I may enlighten all of those that
I touch with your beauty…
