Let It Be

I went to a Catholic high school. Uniforms everyday. Mass, almost as often.

I liked going to Mass. The ritual felt comforting to me.

During Mass, we always sang “Let It Be” by The Beatles. I loved that song then. I love it still. Can’t remember the last time I heard it, but it came on the radio today as we were driving. 

Poignant. Poignant because we are losing someone special probably tomorrow. And I haven’t heard the song in so long. It was incredibly appropriate for my heart.

When I find myself in times of trouble

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness

She is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the broken-hearted people

Living in the world agree

There will be an answer, let it be

For though they may be parted

There is still a chance that they will see

There will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Yeah, there will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Ah, let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

And when the night is cloudy

There is still a light that shines on me

Shine on until tomorrow, let it be

I wake up to the sound of music,

Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, yeah, let it be

Oh, there will be an answer, let it be

Let it be, let it be

Let it be, yeah, let it be

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

The Beatles

I have prayed to Mother Mary at important times in my life. She is my “go to Girl" in times of dire need. I truly believe she hears me. I prayed to her today. I need her.
