What are the things that belong to God?
BACKGROUND - Father Francis Maple is a Franciscan monk who celebrated his 60th Anniversary as a priest in 2023. (Click his name for website link).Some years ago Father Francis recorded a Pro-Life song entitled A Cry from the Heart which was released originally on casette tapes and later on CDs.
The song has saved many babies from abortion. Their pregnant mothers heard the song and decided not to proceed with abortion.
Years later Father Francis met a young boy who told him that his mother heard the song when pregnant and decided not to have an abortion. The boy said he owed his life to the priest. Father Francis has received over 20 other similar testaments of babies being saved.
I've put this and other Father Francis Maple songs on You Tube - Check them out HERE.
Father Francis has sung in public over the years in malls, shopping centres, bus stations and at his own concerts and has raised over £1m for charity.
He has also written several books (sermons, cooking recipes, jokes), and has contributed to many newspaper columns and Catholic newspapers and magazines. He has spent a lot of time travelling throughout the UK leading Missions in various churches.
Mommy keep me safe, mommy keep me warm
Handle me with care, mommy help me to form.
I am ten weeks old, and I know the time will come
when you will give birth to me.
The gift you gave to me are a pair of bright blue eyes
So some day I will see you smile and love me.
I’ve already got my arms and a little podgy nose,
And at the end of my feet I’ve got five little toes.
I look forward to my life, ice cream and slimy snails,
teddy bears and little fairy tales.
Going for walks in the park
Running home before it’s dark.
And being tucked into bed with a kiss.
Where are we going today?
Am I in a boat or bus?
Why are we lying down?
Being drawn on four wheels?
And we go through the door
and there’s people dressed in green.
Everything seems so strange and so clean.
Mommy if they hurt you just let out a scream
and I know someone will come to help you and me.
Mommy what’s going on I am starting to cry
Come quickly they are forcing me to die.
They are killing me mommy, they are pulling me apart
My arms and my legs and now they’re at my heart.
And I won’t see the sky, or the grass or the trees.
and I won’t see the moon, or feel the breeze.
I love you mommy dear, you know I really do
But I only wish you could have loved me too!
