LA MADONNINA D'AMORE / by Joe Castorino

During the deep dark night,

I open the eyes of my soul,

and I see her before me,

glittering in glorious brilliance.


She smiles at me, softly, gently,

and reminds me that she rejoices

greatly when I meditate on the

Holy Passion of her sweet Son.


I listen to the magnificent music

of her most wonderful words,

and Light shines in the darkness,

burning away the folly of fear.
