GIFT
OF
THE
SIXTH
SORROW
Have you received
Christ's body dead
Like the sorrowful Mother
Who cradled His head?
Christ's body dead
Is the death of a child
Deformed or sickly
Did you feel beguiled?
Christ's body dead
Is the gift of disease
Physical, mental
Can't do as you please.
That's because Christ
Wants to be close
To you who accepts
The sixth sorrow's dose.
He chose you of hope
To cradle His head
For you know what is life
And what really is dead.
Climb Golgotha hill
For you can handle
So others can see
Your light like a candle
That Christ is with you
Before and behind,
And they'll follow your path
To the tomb quite resigned
Where quietly gently
All suffering will rest
And your head will be cradled
At our Lady's breast.
Oh sons of sorrow
The gift - your breath…
You'll breathe at your birth
Due to Christ's body's death.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us and this dear mother and son!
On it boss !
