Sister Lucia's Miracle

Sister Lucia, you need a miracle,
so God will see that you’re beatified,
at Fatima you saw Mary beautiful,*
nine years ago at ninety-eight you died.**

My niece with cancer needs a miracle cure,
we’re praying friends around the world to pray,
with two small kids, stage four she must endure,
Lucia, please make the cancer go away!

If you can’t have one now, still you can do
some spiritual miracles because they’re prized,
for they save souls and last forever too,
though one more cure will get you canonized.***

Friends, share in our novena these nine days
to end on Mary’s birthday, God we praise.****

* Lucia, age 10, with her cousins, Jacinta, 6, and
Francisco, 8, had visions of the Blessed Virgin on
the 13th of each month from May to October, 1917,
which predicted communism in Russia and then its
demise if people prayed the Rosary for peace.

** On my birthday two months before Pope St. JP2 died.

*** Saints need one miracle to be beatified or blessed
and another to be canonized a saint by the Church.
