HOLY MOTHER

1. Holy Mother,
   teach me to walk beside you always,
   for I know you will lead me to your Son.
   I want to be near you
   so that I can learn from you,
   as did He.
2. Listening Mother,
   teach me to hear the words of your Son.
   In my heart help me treasure all he says,
   until the time that he
   enlightens my mind and I
   understand.
3. Loving Mother,
   teach me to look with eyes of faith,
   see the needs of others, give of myself,
   serve generously,
   see the face of your Son in
   everyone.
4. Obedient Mother,
   teach me to mold my will to His will
   so that until the very end I’ll be
   fully available:
   able to do whatever
   He tells me.
5. Suffering Mother,
   teach me to love as your Son loves,
   I want to stand at the foot of the cross,
   turn not away in pain,
   although my heart may be pierced
   by a sword.
6. Holy Mother,
   teach me to walk beside you always.
   Under your loving care I place myself:
   teach me as you taught him
   and I pray I will love you
   as does He.
