Reciting the Rosary (I)

Do you remember when you were a child When your irate father raised his hand high To punish you for some serious error, Your mother stopped his arm ready to spank. In the pious account that cannot mislead us, Jesus Christ on the cross, showing John to Mary, Said: “Here is your son!” This is why I pray, For Mary to beseech my forgiveness At the hour of my death. For, when Jesus gave her this mysterious gift, He bequeathed Christian humanity to her. Your mother, O Lord, is all mine.
