This song is a collaborative effort, initiated by Dan Vi Nguyen (asiansa09).  Richard Schletty and myself agreed to collaborate on this. 

The lyrics were started by Dan Vi, revised by Rene Asologuitar, and then finalized by Richard at this current version. The words are based on the promises of Mother Mary to the shepherd children of Fatima.

Music and melody by Rene Asologuitar.

This song is dedicated to all the peoples of the world, especially to all non-believers, to the lost, to the outcasts, to the seekers, and to all peoples who need prayers and love!

I Am the Mother of God, Praying for All

VERSE 1
I received the good news from / the Angel Gabriel:
An Immaculate Conception / through the Spirit.
A child born for mankind's / salvation.
A child bringing peace to the earth.
A child bringing joy to each heart.

CHORUS
I am // the Mother of God, praying for all.
Interceding for all through Jesus, my Son,
Bringing praise and petitions to the Father of All.
You can trust in His love, my children.

VERSE 2
Salvation is promised to all who believe.
Confess with your lips that / Jesus is Lord!
Believe that God raised Him up / from the dead.
Announce and carry forth / the good news
That Jesus walks with us, as the Spirit rejoices.

VERSE 3
Glory to the Lord, Jesus, Alleluia.
As the Mother of God, I'll guide you / in his ways.
I will never leave you,/ I will always care.
Come, let me lead you / to Him.
All glory, laud and honor to / Father, Son and Spirit.

Stellar review of the album "Forgive" by J-P Mauro of Aleteia.

 

The Light is a song composed by Derek Brown.

Derek requested for me to sing his song, and this is my offering to all peoples in the dark.  And His light is for all, and specifically for the marginalized, the lost, the outcast, and the sinners!!!

Thank you Derek for letting me be a part of your song journey.

Responsorial Psalm 46(47):2-3,6-9

God goes up with shouts of joy; the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

All peoples, clap your hands,
cry to God with shouts of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, we must fear,
great king over all the earth.

God goes up with shouts of joy; the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

Lee O'Day was gracious enough to interview me on 105.3 KSWZ-LP The Sword of St. George.  He has a Saturday night show that plays contemporary Catholic music.  You can listen from anywhere at kswzlp.com.  The spoken part of this segment begins at 1:53.  

I was talking to a Protestant friend the other day who wanted to hear some of the Catholic music I was doing.  After listening to this track, there were a few polite questions and then the comment, "I never understood that.  This song is quite educational."  

I previously posted the lyric video to this track but here's a link so you can listen on your favorite music service:

Bridges and Walls, Original Words and Music by Rene A

We need to make a serious choice, today!!!
Not tomorrow!

Do we build walls; or bridges that can allow communication, understanding and love to start creeping and can someday stand united.

Make love, not war!!!
Peace and hope be in our troubled world!!!

Responsorial Psalm 66(67):2-3,5-6,8

Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.

O God, be gracious and bless us
and let Your face shed its light upon us.
So will Your ways be known upon earth
and all nations learn Your saving help.

Let the peoples praise You, O God; let all the peoples praise You.

Let the nations be glad and exult
for You rule the world with justice.

I will bless Your name for ever, O God my King.

The Lord is kind and full of compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
How good is the Lord to all,

Month of May - Month of Mary

The new lyric video for "Song to Mary, Queen of All Hearts" will be featured on EWTN's Life on the Rock this coming week.

 
    And my new LP "Forgive" just released:
 
  May God bless you and Mother Mary keep you!

I am planning for a family gathering at my house to celebrate Father’s Day on 06/19/2022 for our family members and relatives in the spirit of Saint Joseph, the worker.
I want to emphasize the importance of the father in the family upon the Holy Family.
Remember, among our family members, there are widows and single moms or single dads raising our children.  So be hopeful to plant the seed of fatherhood in the house upon the Holy Family.
The role of fatherhood in the family must be very important as the daddy defend the family upon Christ and the Holy Family.  In the house, mommy is driving the wave as she cares and leads everyone on the way.  But the role of the father must be recognized and appreciated by the Holy Family.

Happy Mother's Day
I attached a pro life song I am working on for an upcoming album as it is appropriate for this weekend and everything going on in the world with the courts right now. 
This version is exclusive to Top Catholic Songs as it features a speech from Mother Teresa.
God Bless All Mothers
