God of faith,
Hear the deepest prayer of our hearts,
for a child to be ours.
Help us to believe –
even when we wrestle with doubt,
even when months pass empty,
even when darkness threatens our joy –
that your promise of love for us
remains faithful, good, and true.
God of hope,
Hold our dreams for a child
within your loving hands…

Il-Madonna tal-Karmnu, meta nħarsu lejn ix-xbihat tagħha, ngħarfuha minn żewġ elementi importanti. Meta nħarsu lejn xbieha tal-Madonna tal-Karmnu, aħna d-devoti mdorrijin infittxu mill-ewwel il-labtu qaddis li għandha f’idejha. Il-labtu huwa libsa, imma t-tifsira tagħha hija libsa ta’ virtùjiet…
