Prayer to Mary

This is a small excerpt from "Litany of the Blessed Mother (addendum)" by Brian Doyle which appeared in the May 2009 issue of U.S. Catholic.

Mother who endured the unendurable, mother who holds and salves and saves us, mother to whom we whisper in the blue hours of the night, mother whose gentle smile is our food, mother without whom we would die of despair, mother to whom we will run sobbing and laughing when our chapter closes and the path to your arms opens wide.

Pray for us, pray for us, pray for us. Amen.
