Immaculate Heart

Immaculate Heart, lily among thorns, Garden of silence where God rests, You are a ray of light in the darkness of this world, Mother of hope, quiet and true. In your silence—the flame of sacrifice, In your gaze—the radiance of mercy. You are the throne of grace, chosen by humility, To bring Salvation through all time. When the Angel announced, you answered: "Let it be done to me"—without a shadow of fear. Then a fire ignited in your heart, O pure love, eternal journey. Beneath the Cross you stood—Mother of sorrows, Your heart pierced by a sword of pain. And despite your tears—you were faithful, In you, faith in the King has not been extinguished. Immaculate Heart, make me a child, Shelter me within from the storm of sin. Let my heart beat with Yours, In the rhythm of love that will purify the world. Guide me, Mother, in the paths of the Son, May Your "Fiat" become mine. May Your Heart, silent and pure, Be my way, my light, my peace.
