Mother Russia: Chernaya Madonna
Inspired by courageous Russian protestors

Thérèse Craine Bertsch

You think it is about Ukraine, “No, say it out loud, No!”
Put down your arms for now is the time,
your time to be proud
Lay down your arms. and take to the street
you will meet God face to face, and there’s no disgrace in fear,
staying clear of harm

Just lay down your arms. Ring the alarm embraced
by your Mother, Chernaya Madonna, who is not far,
not not far at all. Can’t you see,
she walks the streets with you, Yes it is true we prayed for you.
She asked us to, and we prayed the rosary
for Mother Russia, her children loved her so

Throughout the ages. she said.
“I will not fail you!
I am your mother.”
Now break the chain of pain you see in the children
of Ukraine and yours and ours
Now is your time. We pray for you.
