O humble child of the Lord
whom our Lady blessed
with her presence,
to whom she gave
roses in winter –
pray for us who are not humble as you,
whose obedience is cold
and grown so weak,
that she might come to us, too,
that she might speak a word to our hearts
and we might as children
listen
and do as she directs,
she who directs us only to Jesus,
only to His love.
Pray this continent be once again
renewed
by the grace of God;
may Our Lady’s image
be upon our hearts
that we too might proclaim
the glory of the Lord
and His love for His children.
