Prayer poems to the Mother of God

Our Lady of Medjugorje

 
Our Lady’s Gift of Love
My Son, I can hear Our Lady plead
On behalf of Earth’s children, let me intercede
Let me find a special place
Where people may meet and their faith embrace
My daily visits there will gain souls galore
Unlikely people will be knocking on Heaven’s door
 
Where on Earth will you find such a place?
Your Son asks you face to face
He can scarcely believe such a place exists
From His experience lukewarm faith persists
Everywhere He looks people do not believe
As regards the hereafter they cannot perceive
 
Our Lady insists that there is a place
Where people can escape from the daily ‘rat race’
Medjugorje, she says, is especially blessed
My children there I have personally assessed
I can vouch for their faith and their effect on others
I can assure You of their love and affection for their brothers
 
So, grant me my wish, my beloved Son
Do this for me and the battle is won
I guarantee success in that Medjugorje place
My children there will gain Your everlasting grace
Millions I will bring to Heaven’s door
Satan will be enraged, I can assure
 
Just give me some time to complete my task
I need a few years, this is all I ask
Like You, I love the children on Earth
Let me show You what they are really worth
The Evil One I will crush along the way
Using the faith of Your people and the prayers they pray
 
Medjugorje, I say, will accomplish Your need
Please help me my Son and intercede
The souls on Earth through my life I will assist
But I rely on Your help – do not desist
May my love for You, my eternal saviour
Bring forth Your generous and ongoing favour
 
My Mother, is your Son’s loving reply
Your ongoing pleas – how can I deny?
For 2000 years you’ve helped all in need
With Rosaries and prayers – millions indeed
Medjugorje, then, will be part of My plan
To save mankind you’ve assured Me it can
 
Together, then, let us create Heaven on Earth
We’ll show unbelievers what faith is worth
Through you, My mother and your motherly love
Medjugorje will continue to be blessed from above
Draw men to Me – let them mend their ways
Thank you, My mother, your compassion pays

Benevolent Mother
Armour of saintly knights of old
Heroine of countless stories untold
You to whom nations seek support
Draw us to Your bosom and give us comfort
 
Constant companion of afflicted souls
Ever ready guide to reach spiritual goals
Protect us from the enemy below
Defeat his efforts to gain followers in tow
 
O spotless herald from heaven above
Mother of our Saviour, the one we love
Graciously assist us to please Our Lord
Strengthen our resolve to earn our reward
 
(A birthday gift to Our Lady - August 2001 - Robert Gill)

 

Ballad to the Queen of Peace
Sweet Advocate of souls in need
Queen of Peace, Blessed Mother indeed
You to whom we give our daily petition
Be our safeguard against the road to perdition
We pledge our lives to Your messages of love
Assist us in pleasing Him from above
In You our faith is magnified
Through You may His name be glorified
Your life You give to the people of Earth
You daily toil to make creatures of worth
Great is Your task to undo Satan's deceit
Your endless grace, though, ensures his defeat
Never leave us Compassionate Mother
As we love God, teach us to love our brother
In You our faith is magnified
Through You may His name be glorified
For 20 years You've kept us in awe
Hopefully You'll continue to visit us some more
God's plan to save many is plain to see
Because Medjugorje's messages are setting many free
Continue to see us, then, Purest of Grace
Your influence is saving the human race
In You our faith is magnified
Through You may His name be glorified
 
(In thanks for Our Lady's visits - 20 years in Medjugorje
- June 2001 - Robert Gill)

 

Mary's Son
Thank You dear Mother for giving us pleasure
The gift of Your Son is something we treasure
One perfect creature begat another
A Son more perfect than even His Mother
With love in our hearts we ponder the mystery
This coming Christmas is another page in history
 
You call us to God, to prayful ways
That confuse Satan and whatever he says
Through My Son, You proudly profess
You must convert, pray, fast and confess
Follow His plan, You say, with love for your neighbour
And the fruits of the next life you will surely savour
 
Jesus is the key at Medjugorje, You say
Jesus is the one to whom we must pray
I trust in You Mother, and make my plea
Please ask Your Son to set my soul free
 
(In honour of the birth of Jesus Christ,
Christmas 2000 - Robert Gill)

 

The Rosary Gift
This wonderful prayer I hold in my hand
Given by You to help me understand
That through these beads You’ll answer my call
You’ll come to my aid – I needn’t worry at all
Repeatedly You tell me the Rosary is the key
To overcome burdens and to set me free
You cannot resist these decades of love
My pleas pave the way to Your Son above
I need only persist with this powerful prayer
That leads to God – let Satan beware
As long as I meditate on the mysteries while praying
More and more I’ll understand what You keep saying
That time out is needed from fun and play
I must turn to God and daily pray
Your ageless prayer, then, dear Mother I know
Is a special gift that on me you bestow
Help me to treasure this relic You love
This everlasting guide to the Almighty above
A way of life, then, let the Rosary be for me
And through daily use may it set my soul free
 
(Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary 7 October 2000 – Robert Gill)

 

Mother of Compassion
O gentle creature, God's chosen maid
The one we turn to when we're afraid
Compassion You show to all who despair
Graces You give to help souls repair
Never do You ignore our daily petition
Your selfless love saves us from perdition
What would we do if You never came?
We'd feel incomplete - utterly lame
Your visits are welcome and may they never cease
O clement, O loving Queen of Peace
Return then often to console us sweet Mother
Your shoulder to cry on is like no other
 
2000, Robert Gill

 

Mother of Love
A message of peace is one that You give
Encouraging life changes that make us really live
Reflect on your words You ask us to do
So that the many may join the select few
There's little time left You repeatedly warn
For us to repent and be re-born
You visit us often to make Your plea
Your intention we know is to set us free
Don't give up on us Mother of Love
We cannot exist without help from above
We stumble and fall every now and then
But dear Mother please pick us up again
 
2000, Robert Gill

 

A Mother's Love
A light to us all this creature of love
Her favours on men She bestows from above
Her special gifts we can expect for free
She asks only that we open our minds to see
That there's more to life than apparently seen
That spiritual reflection will uplift and not demean
Who is this woman who roams the earth
Her queenly presence felt by children of worth?
For 2000 years She's roamed the land
Trying desperately to persuade men to understand
That peace before war should be our main aim
That life without love will cripple and maim
The message She brings is one of hope and cheer
Saying living in harmony will drive out fear
Like little children we have to be taught
Lest Her words of wisdom come to naught
Pray for us Mother that we will listen well
To the messages of Medjugorje that You've come to tell
 
1996, Robert Gill
