Our Lady of Mental Peace. 2013 by Stephen B Whatley

A new tribute to the Blessed Virgin Mary, by expressionist artist Stephen B Whatley; inspired by a prayer to Our Lady of Mental Peace (below) from the prayer book The Illustrated Book of Mary ( 2010, William J Hirten Co., RI, USA).

 

Peace.

 

O Lady of Mental Peace,

Mother of Tranquility

and Mother of Hope,

look upon me in this time

of my weakness and unrest.

 

Teach my searching heart

to know that God's Love

for me is unchanging and

unchangeable, and, that

true human love can only

begin and grow by touching

His Love.

 

Let your gentle Peace -

which this world cannot give

- be always with me.

And, help me to bring this

same Peace into the lives

of others.

 

Our Lady of Mental Peace,

- Pray for me!
