Mother Of Light


Mother Of Light 
By Paul McCann



Mother of light ,
upon your head
you wear a crown of stars
that shine down in heavenly light .
 
Mother of light 
things that are hidden and covered up 
are made known through the grace of insight .
 
 
Mother of light , you pierce the darkness 
and present the truth so that we may know where to go .
 
Mother of light 
For those who live in the gloom
and doom bring  them  an inspirational glow. 

Mother Of The Roses



Mother Of The  Roses  

 by Paul McCann 



Mother of the roses ,
you spoke at the miracle of Lourdes to the soul of Lisieux .

Mother of the roses , 
in magnificent colours and clusters they reach out to you .  

Mother of the roses
naturally wild and piled with thorns is how they have always grew .

Mother of the roses
In grottos and gardens their fragrance is ascending to you  .

Mother of the roses 
showers of flowers on altars 
are left every day for you .

Mother Of The Unseen


Mother Of The Unseen  
By Paul McCann


Mother Of The unseen
Bind together the threads
between the living and the dead .

Mother Of The unseen
stitch together the open wounds
of things that once were said .

Mother Of The unseen
heal unforgivable hurts
that lie in another place .

Mother Of The unseen
may those lost souls not at rest    .
find peace through your saving grace .
