The Song of Nativity Poem 05

Poem- 05

God, your Word came into this world

To bring salvation for all humanity

Stars of the heaven twinkling with joy

The choir of the angels welcomes the Little One

Lord, you chose the lowest comfort on earth

To become the poorest of the poor

This way to make yourself, you are for all

The rich and poor would find the way of truth in you

Am I worthy to receive Him under my roof

He looked into my heart with joy

I searched Him in the midst of stars

Then I saw a star shining brighter than other stars

In the silent night and in the chilling wind

I was walking where the star guided me

 I saw the shepherds coming on my way

They all carried with best gifts they have

But I am the one carry no gifts for my Lord

Woe to me, am not having any virtues

Lord, you never ask our wealth or virtues

But, He only asks our cheerful heart

 

We saw our Lord of lords in a manger

Mary and Joseph the poor mother and father

The most blessed parents on earth

A unique model to bear all the suffering

St. Lucy God’s lovely Princess…Poem 04

Poem- 04

Oh, St. Lucy God’s lovely Princess

A real sacrifice of fragrant rose

An untouched flower of God’s own garden

A pure soul of fervent zeal in our Lord

How lovely your eyes to see

Which have ever seen the glory of God?

A tremendous light in the darkness

The light of Jesus was enlightened in you

How gracious was your words ever be

This healed the sick and the downtrodden
You stood like rock in front of your enemies
As St Stephan withstand in the tribulation

Oh, young Princess of God’s Kingdom

Pray for us for the zeal of Jesus

You calm your enemies by the Word of God

Like stream of living water flowing from a spring

Oh, gentle and humble,

Helper of the poor and downtrodden

Pray for us to be steadfast in our faith

Pray for us to love Jesus above all we own

The Famine Poem 35

Lord, do not send famine to the world

But you send your Word to the whole world

The fields are barren; no more crops

There is no food enough; to survive humanity

     The birds of the air are crying

     The creatures of the land and seas are wailing in tears

     The animals and calves are crying for food

     They are crying to Lord; unceasingly

How cruel we are Lord; keep barren our land

You gave us the best land; to cultivate

To produce fruit and grains to feed your creations

But we gave You ; thorns instead

       Oh; Lord our Creator, Almighty God

       How You made everything for our benefit

       But, You said that various crops are not our real food

       The Word from your mouth are nourishing us

Lord, You told Amos send the famine to world

But, not of hunger from the corn or wine

Not of the hunger of the food or water,

Instead, Lord will send famine for hearing His Word

Immaculate Conception Poem 03

Poem- 03

Oh, Blessed Virgin Mary, Immaculate Conception

Behold, a wonderful creation of Almighty

My consoler and comforter

Oh, most beautiful and chaste

Oh, my inspiration in all I do

You, inspired Holy Apostles and many saints

And gave them the courage to work in His Garden

Help me in the hour of my death

Oh, sweet Mother, heavenly abode

Come in our midst to strengthen us

You are the book of all the revelation

The mirror of justice and solace

Oh, Mother of Jesus our Lord

Mother of love and all graces

You are the mother of Wisdom and knowledge

The Queen of heaven and earth
