Adoration to Mary:
Mother of Catholics
We adore you, our Heavenly Mother
We adore you next to our Heavenly Father
Oh Mother of Catholics – Mother of Christianity
You are our Holy Mother, oh Mama Mary
Holy Mary, Mother of Catholics
Mother of us who regard you as our Grand Mediatrix
You are holy, you are immaculate
Glory be to you also, the Mother we consecrate.
Amen.

*Adoration to Mary as Mother of Christianity
I sometimes feel
if JC had been broken on the wheel
instead of impaled and nailed to a cross
would Catholics be at a loss
or wave their hand
reeling in a circular motion
in front of themselves
when 'wheeling'
as opposed to 'crossing' themselves
while Trinity words were spoken
and if so clockwise or counter
my best guess is the former
as 'tho sacrificed
counter would imply
(oh no)
the anti-Christ
Enduringly left the spiritual task
Of praying for what Catholics ask:
A fresh day in her wondrous breakthroughs bask,
An open-it-and-one-finds-rich food flask,
For lovers of the fabric: Good Damask,
The wisdom for proofs statue is no mask.
None prays that she outrage owners of cask:
Saints who smoke and you can’t its question ask…
It’s been a back-dated virginity:
If one tastes sex, flees one’s virginity;
There’s no answering-it opportunity;
The pregnant now faces maternity:
A sacristy that gets more decorative,
This no big deal to judge pejorative…
At one point wanted some word with her son,
While he had devotees in the sun;
And it was time Christ crushed Monopoly:
The more hateful than Oligopoly…
No disputing this: some film editing
But a camera for Mary fitting.
Natural Family Planning
has its ups and downs
so to speak but it often
works quite well.
But when the calendar
says not tonight
I ask my wife to please
go in another room
with that banana.

Would you quietly watch a friend threw away a winning lottery
ticket without claiming a prize
In a way seeing a baptized Catholic neglect his faith is similar
Catholics who don’t attend mass each week
Don’t partake the sacraments
Don’t grow in their faith are throwing away the riches of what Father Christ Jesus offered
Instead
Encourage all Catholics to claim their promised prize
Listen: Perhaps (Maybe or possibly) a painful past episode
associated with the Church
A sin that is unforgiveable is keeping your friend from coming to church
Offering gentle attention
Comfort makes you an instrument of grace
Invite: Some Catholics don’t practice their faith because they haven’t found a parish home where they feel welcome Inviting your friend to attend mass with you is a first step
Encourage: Through the sacrament of reconciliation
We are freed from our sins and reminded of God’s forgiveness
Encourage your friend to go to confession and receive the piece of Father Christ Jesus
Share: When you live a joyfully Catholic life, your joy becomes contagious
Continue to grow in your faith and others will want to
share it
Believing in Jesus Christ or Father Christ
Is being and with Catholics or Roman Catholics
Church He established or started

Catholics and Protestants unite
it's time to join the fight
as we march on toward that light !
It's our job to question the mob ,
as we march on toward that light !
They think it's a game
to dish us the same,
it's our job to question the mob,
as we march on toward that light !
