Posted @withregram • @wearethejesuits Celebrate the month of Mary with this prayer by @cameronbellm:
Mary of Many Names and One Love
Maybe Mary comes to you most readily
As Our Lady of Guadalupe, bringing blooms in December,
Assuring you that she is your Mother.
Maybe she appears to you each day
As Queen of the Rosary, guiding your heart to peace
As your fingers move from bead to bead, prayer to prayer.
Maybe you know Mary most personally
As the Mystical Rose, petals slowly unfolding,
Leading you ever deeper into contemplation.
Maybe Mary speaks to you most clearly
In the fierce and tender words of the Magnificat,
Rejoicing in the love that lifts up the lowly.
Maybe Mary is your Star of the Sea,
Your Lady of the Way, your compass
As you make the journey of your life.
Maybe you seek comfort in the embrace
Of Our Lady of Sorrows, who sees
And makes room for all your tears, all your losses.
However you know her, be assured,
She knows you, sees you, welcomes you—
The arms that held Jesus, longing to hold you.
Amen.
