Dear Mother, I bring Thee roses Because they are so sweet, But lilies, my favorite flowers I am placing at Thy feet.
Accept with each Hail Mary A rose for Thy crown so bright, Please don't forget the lilies, The lilies so pure and white.
Let them be a bond of love And understanding rare, And send a blessing from above In answer to my prayer.
Loneliness would be unknown If more people came to Thee, With their trials and sorrows� And said their Rosary.
With each Hail Mary, they would find Their load much lighter grow, And in humility, kiss the cross In peace, would onward go.
-Alice W. Sparks
For Reflection:
How has my load been made lighter this past month as I have prayed the Rosary? Am I willing to make the Rosary a daily prayer? Why or why not?
