Blessed Virgin, Mother of the Church

Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, How wonderful to contemplate All that it means to share Membership in Christ's body, The Church entrusted to your care.

Though unworthy as a temple Of the Holy Spirit, May my heart be open to guidance and the faith to hear it.

Your Son is head of the Body, And yet I am a part.

Please pray for me to become a tug of hope in others' hearts.

If a body were only eyes How could it walk or hear? No matter how small my part, may Your Son's love, though me, appear.

Amen.
