Caravaggio

Mom, holy virgin, you met the anguish of that woman
Who suffered abuse, violence, and insults from her cruel husband
Mother of Caravaggio, you help those in need
We read in Joaneta, your daughter, the message you want to share
We are your children too, come ease our pain
In every step we take, we want to follow your son

Caravaggio, chosen by the mother to show
The care and attention to her children
And to say that God doesn’t abandon us, for in the hardest times
When it seems we’re all alone
And the tears roll down our faces
It’s God who comes to save us

Mom, you ask for constant prayer and fervent faith in Jesus
Yes, you knew we find our truth by gazing at the cross
You, mother of Caravaggio, know this very well
In the cross, you already see the glory
And you teach your children too
We want to learn with you to persevere in prayer
In comforting Joaneta, you soothe our hearts

Caravaggio, chosen by the mother to show
The care and attention to her children
And to say that God doesn’t abandon us, for in the hardest times
When it seems we’re all alone
And the tears roll down our faces
It’s God who comes to save us

Caravaggio, chosen by the mother to show
The care and attention to her children
And to say that God doesn’t abandon us, for in the hardest times
When it seems we’re all alone
And the tears roll down our faces
It’s God who comes to save us
