Our Blessed Mother

by Giuseppe Magni

One of my friends shared this beautiful picture with our local Catholic homeschool group. I think that it would look lovely hanging on a wall in our home. I can dream...

Sweet Mother! lend me Thine eyes

to see the beauty of Jesus;

Thine ears to hear His faintest whisperings;

Thy lips to adore, praise, bless,

petition and love Him;

Thine arms to hug Him to my soul;

Thy heart to hold Him in time and eternity.

Let our thoughts become lilies for Mary's shrine,

and our hearts tabernacle lamps for His sanctuary.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
