I am dark, daughters of Jerusalem and I am beautiful!

Black Virgin

Mother of us All

teach me to see the beauty in the Mystery.

Help me to relinquish my need to figure out the Holy One

with the feeble tool of my intellect

and instead encompass divine truth

with my open heart

I am tired of fighting for control.

I am ready to lay down my sword

at your gentle feet, Blessed Mother.

Give me the courage to enter the secret cave

where you hold the Redeemer nestled in your loving arms.

Your face radiates from the gaze of the angels that surround you.

Let me find my own true face reflected there.

Do not see me as only dark:  the sun has started in me.

Triumph of the Immaculate Heart

www.etsy.com/shop/thefrenchmadonna

You who radiate peace, dear Mary,

help us to break this obsession with war

and vanquish the culture of death.

Too many people have died, Blessed Mother,

and no amount of official explanations

and strategic manipulations

can possible justify such suffering.

At this very moment, all over the planet,

dozens of battles are raging,

like bursts of flame exploding

from different zones of a forest on fire.

Whether they take the form of the 

massive bloodshed of entire communities

or single acts of domestic violence,

your Mother-Heart will not tolerate such hatred.

You break yourself open

and offer us the only true antidote

to the poison of global strife:

universal love.
