OUR LADY OF THE UNIVERSE “GODS GIFT TO THE WORLD”

Oh Creator of All that is beautiful and good

Send me your Light that I may believe in This world without faith

Send me your Light that I may Love In this world without Love

Send me your light that I may accept your truth. Send me your Light that my walls and barriers of

Loneliness, selfishness and restlessness may fall away. Send me your Light that I may cross the

Threshold of my helplessness and ignorance. Grant that my lips may open in praise, prayer

And thanksgiving to you, my God. Almighty Father thank you for your new creation of Light

Thank you for Her, who belongs to all of us and loves us all. Thank you for Our Mother.
