Published!

Our sweet Regina has had one of her poems published in the parish bulletin. She had given a copy of it to each of our priests and our pastor was so moved by it he asked permission to publish it! I don't think I have ever seen a poem printed in the bulletin, so this is really an honor.

We are, of course, very proud of her.

Here it is:

Mary

Mary, my mother, how sweet thou art!
Virgin of Virgins with purest of heart!
Mary Immaculate, my sweet mother true,
Help me in this life to be just like you.
Lady of Fatima! Lady of Lourdes!
Along with the angels, with the flaming swords.
Lady of Guadalupe! Heavenly Queen!
Your beauty and love we have seen.
Regina Maria! Virgin Mother!
Through God you made Jesus our brother.
Full of Grace! My Lady of Heaven,
Have mercy on us the least of your brethren.
And now I say to you,
The words that God made true:
Hail Mary full of grace,
The world rejoices to see thy face.
The Lord is with thee.
And always shall be.
Blessed are thou amongst women.
For you shall enter the kingdom of Heaven.
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus, who has risen from his tomb.
Holy Mary, Mother of our Lord.
Lead us forever forward.
Pray for us sinners,
And turn our takers to givers.
Now, and at the hour of our death, amen.
For you are blessed amongst women.
