Mother Of Reflection

Mother Of Reflection

Mother Of Reflection

By Paul McCann

Mother of reflection , channel of peace

May our thoughts and prayers bring to us release  ,

From our hurried lives and our worried minds ,

And from all the everyday things that binds .

Lead us to a quiet place there with you .

Mother of reflection , vision of light

Grant us the blessing of an inner sight 

So that we can see where we are today

And in the silence having  time to pray.

Then in reflection we’ll see things anew .

Mother of reflection , we seek to find

A new way to leave the world far behind .

As the peaceful waters begin to flow    

 in that moment there ,we can say hello

in quiet reflections , at peace with you  .

Mother Of The Saviour

Mother Of The Saviour

By Paul McCann

Mother of the saviour how accepting and how true

Was the faith that you put into action  .

Mother of the saviour how peaceful and how free

You must have been in daily prayerful reflection

Mother of the saviour how beautiful and how great

It must have been to tell everyone    .

Mother of the saviour how proud and how blessed

Were you to have seen the birth of Jesus your son

Mother of the saviour how happy and how busy

It must have been  in your family home .

Mother of the saviour how lucky and how great

To sit and discuss things with him all alone  .

Mother of the saviour how gifted and how unique

To see him grow and to know him so well .

 Mother of the saviour how awesome and how true

Were the stories that you were able to tell  .

Mother of the saviour how gracious and how kind

To surrender it all to God’ in the end .

Mother of the saviour how cruel and how unfair

To be judged for something you cannot  defend  .

Mother of the saviour how brave and how strong 

were you as they gripped the whip and punished him so .

Mother of the saviour how sad and how hurtful

It must have been when his blood began to flow .  

Mother of the saviour how humble and how forgiving

Were you when you heard them mock him so  .

  .

Mother of the saviour how agonising and how tragic

to see your son nailed to the cross .

Mother of the saviour how miraculous  ,

 how glorious , to see him rise victorious .

Mother Of The Lost

Mother Of The Lost

Mother Of The Lost

By Paul McCann

Mother of the lost what ever the cost

Bring them to a place where they can retrace

their steps and find home .

Mother of the lost out there they are tossed  

In troubles and strife through the storms of life ,   

Don’t leave them alone .

Mother of the lost , the sign of the cross ,

look down from afar and see where they are .

Protect those who roam .

Mother of the lost , out there In the frost

In the wilderness of life’s loneliness : 

don’t leave them alone .
