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 God’s 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
