Behold your Mother (John 19:27)

“Woman, behold your son: behold your mother” (John 19:26- 27)

Hush now dear Lady. Mother, I am all yours

Making all things new - The Passion of Christ

The dialogue between Mary and Jesus based on the Movie The Passion of Christ

Mary

Why is this night not like any other night?

Where is my son?

The slave is freed from the shackles of sin

At last it has begun.

Jesus

Adonai, many surrounded me

Adonai, they seek my life

Oh Abba, please take this cup

Not my will but Thine be done

See I am making all things new

Mary

Heart of my heart let me die with you.

Jesus

Father, my heart is ready

I am your servant

the son of your handmaid

Mary

I hear your heart beating ever near,

I know you must be here.

When, where or how will you deliver yourself,

My soul trembles with fear.

Jesus

Abba, my heart is ready, the hour has come

I feel the scourge rend my fleash, and I cry

I am a worm,not a man

I give my blood for them

Jesus

See I am making all things new

Mary

Heart of my heart let me die with you

Jesus

Father my heart is ready

Both

I am your servant,(The son of your handmaid) I am your handmaid

Mary

You are poured out like water on the ground

I scarce can soak the blood

I must reach you though my heart won't go on

My son I am here

Jesus

See I am making all things new

Mary

Heart of my heart let me die with you

Jesus

Father my heart is ready

Both

I am your servant,(The son of your handmaid) I am your handmaid

Mary

You fall again my son and, where are my arms?

the end is coming on.

They've teared your clothes

threw dice for what I weaved

your strength is all but gone

Jesus

Abba, they stretch me out

they nail my hands and feet

Please, forgive them, they not know what they do

Abba, Abba, they do not know

they know not what they do

See I am making all things new

Mary

Heart of my heart let me die with you

Jesus

Father my heart is ready

Both

I am your servant,(The son of your handmaid) I am your handmaid

Jesus

Behold your Mother, behold your son

Mary

Here I still stand

Flesh of my flesh, and heart of my heart

I say yes, again

Jesus

My God, my God, why've you abandoned me?

Abba how I thirst

I've finished all you've commanded me

I am your hands

Rex ludeorum

Rex Admirabilis

O Res Miranda!

Salvator Mundi

Jesu Resurrexit

O Felix Culpa

Christus Vincit

Christus Regnat!

Christ loves His Mother

So must we

Blessed Mother I Love You!

---------------------------------------------------

O My Mother, how unconcious I am of your beautiful solicitude and motherly care for me. I acknowledge it with my mind; I profess it as my faith, but how little I realize it. When sufferings come and anxieties arise, I imagine that I must face them alone and so I get upset. How easy they would be to bear if I only saw you there beside me, knowing that you understand, knowing that you care and suffer it with me. The same with my joys. How much more winderful they would be if I told you about them and saw the interest in your face, the love in your eyes! It isn't just imagination; it's real. O Mary, help me to know and realize your all-embracing love and sympathy. And let me have all the trust and filial affection for you that you deserve. I renew once more my act of total devotion to you. Take whatever is good in me to use as you will for God's glory.

Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue

Lovely Lady dressed in blue
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
Tell me what to say!

Did you lift Him up, sometimes,
Gently on your knee?
Did you sing to Him the way
Mother does to me?

Did you hold His hand at night?
Did you ever try
Telling stories of the world?
O! And did He cry?

Do you really think He cares
If I tell Him things
Little things that happen? And
Do the Angels' wings

Make a noise? And can He hear
Me if I speak low?
Does He understand me now?
Tell me for you know.

Lovely Lady dressed in blue
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
And you know the way.

Saints of Carmel

O Jesus, Savior of the world,

We come and for redemption plead,
Mother of God, his saving grace
Win for your children in their need.

All choirs of angels we invoke;
We beg the prophets of God’s call
And patriarchs who led us flock
To gain God’s pardon for us all.

O saints of Carmel, throned above
In Mary’s court, obtain this grace --
That where you are in glory now
We, too, may find a resting-place.

May martyrs, brave in word and deed,
Confessors, holy pastors pray,
And choirs of virgins intercede
That God may wash our sins away.

O blessed saints of solitude,
And all the heavenly company,
Obtain for us that life in God
Which lasts for all eternity.

Praise to the Father evermore
And to the Spirit he bestows,
To Jesus whom that Virgin bore
From whom all Carmel’s beauty flows.

Lord, have mercy
Christ, have mercy
Lord, hear us

[R] Have mercy on us.

God, the Father in Heaven,
God the Son, redeemer of the world,
God the Holy Spirit,
Holy Trinity, one God,

[R] Help us to love.

Pray for us Saint Therese, That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
