Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6-7

Joyful Mother, pray for us

.



GANDOLFI, Gaetano
St Giustina and the Guardian Angel Commending the Soul of an Infant to the Madonna and Child
1792-93




Be Joyful Mary


Be joyful, Mary, heav'nly Queen,
Be joyful, Mary!
Your grief is changed to joy serene,
Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!

The Son you bore by heaven's grace,
Be joyful, Mary!
Did by his death our guilt erase,
Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!

The Lord has risen from the dead,
Be joyful, Mary!
He rose in glory as he said,
Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!

Then pray to God, O Virgin fair,
Be Joyful, Mary!
That he our souls to heaven bear,
Alleluia!
Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!


For the hymn, go here. I've been singing this song all week, so please join me. ;-)
