Virgin Mary Lilies Religious Poem Prayer Card

This is a custom designed traditional Catholic religious design using a vintage image of Our Blessed Mother, Our Lady of Sorrows, with lilies. Inside is a beautiful poem by Rev. Frederick Faber entitled "Mother of Mercy". Mother of Mercy! day by day My love of thee grows more and more; Thy gifts are strewn upon my way Like sands upon the great sea-shore. Like sands upon the great sea-shore. Though poverty and work and woe The masters of my life may be, When times are worst, who does not know Darkness is light with love of thee? Darkness is light with love of thee? But scornful men have coldly said Thy love was leading me from God; And yet in this I did but tread The very path my Saviour trod. The very path my Saviour trod. They know but little of thy worth Who speak these heartless words to me; For what did Jesus love on earth One half so tenderly as thee? One half so tenderly as thee? Get me the grace to love thee more; Jesus will give if thou wilt plead; And, Mother! when life’s cares are o’er, O I shall love thee then indeed! O I shall love thee then indeed! Jesus, when His three hours were run, Bequeath’d thee from the cross to me; And O! how can I love thy Son, Sweet Mother! if I love not thee? Sweet Mother! if I love not thee?
