O Mary, sweetest of creatures,
whose name on our lips
brings joy to our hearts…
inflamed with love toward God
and you
we become
in speaking your blessed name –
pray we shall call your name,
dear Lady,
in our time of need,
that you will be quick to intercede
with your Son
for our salvation.
Washed in the water from His side
and in His holy blood,
pray we shall rise above the sea,
beyond all rebellion,
that obedient as you, His Handmaid,
we shall find favor with the Lord
and enter into Heaven,
our names written beside your own
in the Book of Life,
dearest Mary.
