A Poem for Mary
When you follow her,
You will not go astray;
When you pray to her,
You will not despair;
When you think of her,
You will not err;
When she holds you up,
You will not fall;
When she protects you,
You will not fear;
When she leads you,
You will not be fatigued;
When she favors you,
You will arrive safely.
She keeps her Son
from striking us;
She keeps the devil
from hurting us;
She keeps our virtues
from escaping us;
She keeps our merits
from being destroyed;
She keeps our graces
from being lost.
— St. Bernard
