Why Listen to This Song?
More than anything else, Mary’s life was defined as a mother, the Mother of Jesus. This song imagines Mary telling her experience as a mother and woman who loves her family, and your family.

Lyrics:

When I carried my Jesus,
My mother cared for me.
A surprising Angel’s visit,
Turned life into mystery.
When I carried my Jesus,
My Joseph married me.
The Angel’s wondrous dream,
He hoped and thought of me.
When I carried my Jesus
My cousin called to me:
Most blessed among women
Are you destined now to be.
When I carried my Jesus,
There was trouble in our land,
We were meek and lowly
We trusted in God’s hand.
When I carried my Jesus,
A donkey carried me.
To Bethlehem’s noisy shack
Where my baby born would be.
When I delivered my Jesus,
I didn’t know He would deliver me,
To be with Him, my God, and all and live eternally.
When I laid down my Jesus
In swaddling cloths so snug
That He would lay down His life; broke my heart when His tomb was dug.
When I buried my Jesus,
My heart was sad and torn
Never would I have thought
This reason why He was born.
When I saw my Jesus, Raised, alive and strong
He took me to be home with Him, And filled my soul with song.
When I heard my Jesus,
He pledged my mother’s vow:
Behold, my prayers and love are with you,
Sharing my home with you now.
The baby you now carry
Unborn, on the way to birth.
Alive and well, to belong,
To my Jesus’ family on earth.

When  I Carried My Jesus

Why Listen to This Song?
Mary appeared to Juan Diego and spoke these comforting words of care with her prayers and presence to reassure him of her enduring love. Mary sings this same care for you and your Mom.

Lyrics:
Am I not your Mother,
Words I spoke so long ago
Through roses atop a mountain
And my image on a cloak.

Am I not your Mother,
When time is thick with woe
Below a mountain of worry,
That makes your spirit broke?

Am I not your Mother,
With tender, loving care
There isn’t any other,
Who keeps you in constant prayer?

You, my little one, so delicate,
I am your Mother now,
To my Jesus I gave my word
To take a Mother’s vow:







To hold you when you’re weary,
Laugh to fill you with glee,
To walk every day with you,
In all moments make you free.

Am I not your Mother?
My little one, I am here.
My love I send you freely,
To fill your soul, my dear.

Am I Not Your Mother

Lyrics

In the stillness of the night
I find my way
A flickering flame
guiding me to pray
Under the stars
where hopes intertwine,  
I light this candle
at the Shrine divine

Oh, Mary, Queen
with your grace so bright,  
Illuminate the shadows
bring us to the light
In our hearts
your love will always stay
We lift our voices
and we humbly pray

Whispers of peace
in the cool evening air
With every heartbeat
I feel you there
A promise of solace
in times of despair
At your shrine, dear Mother
I lay my cares

Oh, Mary, Queen
with your grace so bright
Illuminate the shadow
bring us to the light
In our hearts
your love will always stay
We lift our voices
and we humbly pray


Through trials and storms
I seek your embrace
In the warmth of your presence
I find my place.  
A candle ignited
my hopes soar high
With each flicker
I feel you nearby

Oh, Mary, Queen
with your grace so bright
Illuminate the shadows
bring us to the light
In our hearts
your love will always stay
We lift our voices
and we humbly pray

So here at your shrine
I stand in awe  
Bound by your love
forevermore
With this candle
my spirit aligned
In the heart of the universe
your love I find

Mary Queen

LIsten to this touching ballad about the heart of Mary, her  love for her Son Jesus, and for you.

Lyrics

The heartbeat of Jesus began
A Virgin became mother
As God became man
In the heart of Mary dear
The handmaid of the Lord
Good News started forming here
One day pierced with a sword

Her meek and lowly heart divine
Shaped His sacred heart
Teaching gentleness sublime
From His earliest start
"Come to me," He'd later say
"All who are weary, rest"
Words His mother lived each day
In her humble breast

From the heart of Mary
So many graces flow
A mother hastens to carry
A sad world's wail and woe
For in the heart of Mary
God placed a special song
Of healing, love, and grace
To bless your whole life long

Like mother, like Son
Two hearts beating as one
Her humility, His gentle way
Leading us home day by day
In this moment, time stands still
As grace flows at His will


Universe's gentle Queen
Showing us His face
In your meekness clearly seen
His redeeming grace
Let Your mercy light the way
Guide us through each day
Teaching us to humbly pray
As you showed the Way

From the heart of Mary
So many graces flow
A mother hastens to carry
A sad world's wail and woe
For in the heart of Mary
God placed a special song
Of healing, love, and grace
To bless your whole life long

Two humble hearts as one
Mother and Divine Son
Through Mary's heart we belong
To Jesus' love lifelong

Two humble hearts as one
Mother and Divine Son
Through Mary's heart we belong
To Jesus' love lifelong

From the Heart of Mary (Rendition One)

Listen to these songs about gratitude as part of practicing Vincentian Spirituality.

Lyrics:

Ten walked away healed in Your grace
But only one turned back to seek Your face
Lord, make me that one, on my knees I fall
With a heart full of thanks, giving You my all
Not just in need, but when I rise
Let praise be the breath that fills my life

'Cause gratitude ain’t just a word I say
It’s the pillow where my soul will lay

Grateful is the way I live, the song I sing
For every mercy, every little thing
In the least, in the lost, in the work I do
I find my joy in serving You
More than asking, I will praise
Let my life be thanks always

Every gift from above, not mine to keep
It flows through my hands to the ones in need
To love is to thank You in word and deed
To give is to sow the grace I receive
Humbled by the call, yet I stand amazed
That You’d use my hands to show Your ways

And every soul I help, helps me
We’re both made whole in charity

Grateful is the way I live, the song I sing
For every mercy, every little thing
In the least, in the lost, in the work I do
I find my joy in serving You
More than asking, I will praise
Let my life be thanks always

Teach me to see with thankful eyes
Your presence in each sacrifice
Not just in gain, but in the strain
To give and never count the pain
This is the joy, this is the key
To live in love and walk in peace

Grateful is the way I live, the song I sing
For every mercy, every little thing
In the least, in the lost, in the work I do
I find my joy in serving You
More than asking, I will praise
Let my life be thanks always

Yes, grateful is the way...
Let my whole life say—
Thank You, Lord... today and always
