Maria de La Misericordia
El Chaqueño Palavecino
Maria of Mercy
Today this neighborhood is dressed for a celebration
To sing to the mother of the Lord
And gathers us beneath her mantle
And gifts us all her blessing.
Today this neighborhood wants to thank you
For your presence of endless love
Accompanying all your families
In poverty and also in pain.
Maria of Mercy, you are the owner of our hearts
Just like you’ve been for all these years
Keep going, Maria, guiding us.
Since I was little, I was taught your name
And I learned to live like you.
In serving all my brothers
You brought my life closer to the Lord!
And now that there’s so much pain in the world
So many people carrying their cross
Mercy you ask for, not punishment!
And let the people come closer to Jesus.
Maria of Mercy, you are the owner of our hearts
Just like you’ve been for all these years.
Keep going, Maria, guiding us.
