Why I Love You O Mary...

Media Art by Therese Regina

 O beloved Mother, despite my littleness,

Like you I possess The All-Powerful within me.

But I don't tremble in seeing my weakness:

The treasures of a mother belong to her child,

And I am your child, O my dearest Mother.

Aren't your virtues and your love mine too?

So when the white Host comes into my heart, 

Jesus, your Sweet Lamb, thinks he is resting in you!... 

 

Why I Love You, O Mary!
