Lovely Lady dressed in blue ---- Teach me how to pray! God was just your little boy, Tell me what to say! Did you lift Him up, sometimes, Gently on your knee? Did you sing to Him the way Mother does to me? Did you hold His hand at night? Did you ever try Telling stories of the world? O! And did He cry? Do you really think He cares If I tell Him things- Little things that happen? And Do the Angels' wings make a noise? And can He hear Me if I speak low? Does He understand me now? Tell me ---- for you know? Lovely Lady dressed in blue ---- Teach me how to pray! God was just your little boy, And you know the way.
There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;
If merely 1% of them 'ask' Mary for help just once each day;
that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.
Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)
...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!
Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!

Your kingdom come. Your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth........"
