Mary, My Mother

Love envelops me,
Peace and joy flow abundantly,
When thoughts of Mary come to me,
As I pray my Rosary.

Didn’t Jesus say,
“Mother, behold your son,
Son, behold your Mother,”
On the cross of Calvary?

Now I can claim,
The most beautiful Mother of all,
Who comes to my aid
Whenever I call.

Mary, my Mother,
The most beautiful Mother of all,
Who walks by my side,
As we follow her Son.
