O Mary

1. Mary, your Son gave you to the Apostles,
And you are a Mother in all of our needs.
Illumine our path as we journey toward heaven.
Guide our souls, make us strong in our Faith.

Chorus:
Beneath your protection,
O Queen of Apostles,
We will combat for the kingdom of Christ,
Help us give his divine peace to mankind,
//Glory, honor may we give to God.//

2. In the Cenacle with the Apostles,
You prayed that the Spirit of Love would descend
Upon those called to work in God’s vineyard.
Grant for us graces and favors from God.
Chorus.

3. May the world hear the word of the Master,
Finding in Jesus the Way, Truth, and Life.
And may you, O Queen, Mother, Teacher,
Give your children the help we implore.
Chorus.

4. May the flame of God’s love be enkindled
In minds left anxious by darkness and error.
Grant that the media be placed at the service
Of God who makes minds and hearts all aglow.
Chorus.
