Dear Kitty, I want to tell you how the song, “I Place My Trust in You,” has been so powerful to me. It came to me as a surprise on the Divine Mercy Chaplet CD right in the weeks before the pandemic started. Mother Mary has given me to know how this song was a constant prayer on her heart. It has given me much consolation this year! So much has changed, most especially in my work as a respiratory therapist. I find myself running around the hospital, quite literally, trying to keep people alive with various types of equipment and machinery. The greatest challenge is to be with patients, who suffer greatly, to listen and present their needs to the Blessed Mother. Yesterday, again this song came to me while praying the Rosary. There was no one who prayed more fervently than Mary for the Savior spoken of in Isaiah 61. The One who would “bring good news to the afflicted, bind up the broken-hearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, release the prisoners, and comfort those who mourn.” Imagine her awe and wonder at God’s Mercy as she held the Baby Jesus, a tiny helpless babe, in her arms. Imagine her surprise that the Savior of the world would depend on her and St. Joseph to raise Him and nurture Him. I remember holding my own children when they were infants and being overwhelmed with a sense of God’s love at the gift of life entrusted to my husband and me. I can truly imagine her singing this song with Baby Jesus in her arms! Thank you for this beautiful ministry!!
