Totus Tuus, Maria!

Written by Mike Gallego

In this day and age, great numbers of words are being publicized and less significant proportions of them promote the Word of God. We are bombarded with so many reading materials that entertain, excite, and inform about so many things. Yet very few of them speaks about love, and faith.

You are the one who makes me happy
You filled my life which used to be empty
Always ready to keep me company
And never made me lonely

Sometimes I doubted your love and kindness
Nor was unsure of your faithfulness
Yet the length of years of our togetherness
Prove that you are truly dearest

You are my loving mother
Who taught me many things in life
Especially hard work, perseverance, sacrifice and the like
For you believe that “There’s no Glory Without Sacrifice”

You are my truly beloved mother
Because you love me so tenderly
And because of your sweet and loving ways
I love you forever and always

Happy birthday Dear Mother, Mary! You are the shortest and surest way to Jesus, the light of our lives.

Remember O Most Gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto Thee! O Virgin of virgins, My Mother!

To Thee I come, before Thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Oh Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me.

Amen.
