Virgin Mary
May 18 : Prayer of Paul Claudel
It is midday. I see the church open, we must enter. Mother of Jesus Christ, I have not come to pray.
I have nothing to offer and nothing to ask.
I have come, Mother, only to look at you. To look at you, to cry with happiness, to know that I am your son and that you are here.
Just for a moment while everything stops. To be yours, Mary, in this place where you are.
Say nothing, look at your face, Let the heart sing in its own language. Say nothing, but only sing
Because one's heart is too full, Like the blackbird that follows its idea in these sudden couplets.
Because you are beautiful, because you are immaculate, The woman in Grace restored at last,
The creature in her first happiness and in her final bloom, As she came out of God in the morning of her original splendor, ineffably intact. Because you are the mother of Jesus Christ who is the truth in your arms, and the only hope and the only fruit.
Because you are the woman, the Eden of the ancient forgotten tenderness whose gaze suddenly finds the heart and brings out the accumulated tears... Because it is noon, because we are on this day today, because you are here forever, simply because you are Mary, simply because you exist, Mother of Jesus Christ, be thanked!
Let us pray: Mary, in this month dedicated to you, I come to you. You know all the intentions of my heart, I trust in you and in your intercession with Jesus your Son, our Savior. Listen to my prayer...(express your intentions in silence)
1 Our Father, 10 Hail Marys, 1 Glory to the Father and a song to Mary.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, is a model for the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. She is known as the Mother of God (since 431 at the Council of Ephesus, because Jesus is at the same time the Son of God and God himself), Mary of Nazareth, the Blessed Virgin, the Holy Mary, the Immaculate Conception, Our Lady...
The Virgin Mary, like all the saints of the Church, intercedes for believers before God. She is the advocate of believers. Through prayer, the faithful can ask the Virgin Mary for faith, courage, strength, gentleness, humility, etc.
