Best Songs About Mary for Mother’s Day

A Twitter friend recently asked about recommendations for Mary songs that a non Catholic might like. Two Michael John Poirier songs jumped to mind:

I’ve got these on tape and CD, but it took some digging to find them online so I want to share them in the spirit of Mother’s Day today. (You may need to hit the purple play triangle and then the gray triangle in the Rhapsody button at the bottom.)

Please give them a thoughtful listen and then consider buying them to support Michael John’s wonderful music ministry.

And now for something from a completely genre — the Mother’s Day rap my sons put together for my wonderful wife:

I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. If you have a favorite Marian song, or your own Mother’s Day project to share, please do so in the comments.

More Veterans Day Prayers, Videos

Every fall brings football, changing leaves and a spike in searches for Veterans Day Prayers. This year I’ve expanded my Veterans Day Prayers list to include even more prayers and some Veterans Day videos. If you have a favorite prayer or video for the list, please add it so we honor those whose sacrifices preserve our freedom to have an open, public discussion about religion.
