A Reflection on Our Lady of Guadalupe
Oh sweet holy Lady in flowing robes
Who came to call so long ago
Appearing on a rocky hill to Juan Diego
To lift up hearts sunk so low
Oh sweet holy Lady of stars and flowers
You came to help show the way
In a time of confusion and sin
You brought change that day
Oh sweet holy Lady of comfort in a troubled world
You came to encourage us on the way
In a time of trouble and sorrow
You encouraged and healed that day
Oh sweet holy Lady of healing and peace
You came to tell us of love
In a time when darkness had fallen
You brought light and hope from above
Oh sweet holy Lady with child
You came to bring a message of life
In a time of persecution and pain
To crush the serpent ,ending human sacrifice
Oh sweet holy Lady of flowers and light
You came to remind us of Gods promise
That through His Son all is made new
By leaving your wondrous image for us
Oh sweet holy Lady of fragrance and song
You came to hold our hands and pray
That all life be honored with love
You listened and beautified that day
Oh sweet holy Lady of Guadalupe
On the hill of Tepeyac You came
To build and protect His Church
Built forever in His name
Oh sweet holy Lady of beauty and prayer
Protect us, the living and the unborn
Take our prayers to Your Holy Son
Visit us daily in our prayer each morn
