My Journey to God

Purity is Like a Rose

Like the rose, pure and white, I must attain
Purity in my mind, my body and my soul
By Your grace, in purity I will remain

For perfect purity, Your precious mother
Is our model, our guide and our mentor
She, who is pure of heart and body, like no other

Guide us Gentle Woman every day
With your help, God’s most perfect creature,
From this precious virtue I will not stray

And like a rose, so perfect, pure, and white
The fragrance of this virtuous purity
Rises up to heaven’s height
