Pri re Anna Maria Javouet

Verily I say to you: whoever welcomes one such child in my name, welcomes me. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.


Oh, blessed Anne-Marie, faithful daughter of the Light,
You left your nets to catch souls in love.
Like the Good Shepherd, you bore the burden of the suffering,
Where there is weeping and chains, you proclaimed freedom and peace.

Припев
Pray to our Father for us, Anne-Marie,
You who broke the chains of slaves by the grace of heaven!
Grant us to drink from the wellspring of living faith,
That we, like you, may become the light of the world in the darkness!


Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Your hands healed the wounds of the abandoned and forgotten.
Like the smallest mustard seed, your faith grew a tree,
In whose branches the peoples of distant shores found rest.

Припев
Pray to our Father for us, Anne-Marie,
You who broke the chains of slaves by the grace of heaven!
Grant us to drink from the wellspring of living faith,
That we, like you, may become the light of the world in the darkness!


"Take up your cross and follow me," echoed in your heart.
And you did not fear the storms, walking upon the waters of harsh trials.
May your holy example become bread for those hungering for righteousness,
And the wine of eternal joy for those thirsting for salvation!


Amen. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.
Anne-Marie, daughter of the Kingdom, pray for us.
Amen. Amen.
