Prayers of the Children

The Glorification of Mary by Botticelli

Prayers of the Children:

All Divinity Blessed

Children on the altar

Petitions in hand

Teachers standing there

Microphone in hand

With utter sweetness asking:

For the sick and the lonely

For the elderly and those departed;

Remember us, Lord and Mary, and

For New Life just started;

Heal us,

Gift of Peace,

Be our salvation

Ever Rising 

Under dear feet beneath

Grant lasting pardon;

Mercy, the gift of your hands,

We offer our joys, hurt, our sufferings,

So our transformation 

Stands; 

For lifting others

We aren't changed alone,

Save by loving, caring for each other:

Accept 

these offerings for

We are praying

  each other Home.
