The Dream and Story Behind The Blessed Virgin Song
It all started with my wife’s mother’s prayer. She was dying of terminal liver cancer for which there was no cure. My wife’s mother began to pray and sing a song to the Blessed Mother which she used to sing in the church choir. On the same night, my wife’s sister went to the local Catholic Church’s statue of the Blessed Mother and prayed that I could find a way to cure her mother.
Secretly, my own prayers to God were that he would heal my mother-in-law spiritually first and physically second if it was his will. To be healed spiritually would be to live and healed forever. More than I could ever do.
I went to sleep as usual that night. It all started in the middle of the night I had one of the most beautiful, peaceful and vivid dreams. I was in a high rise office building in a city. I exited the elevator into an office with multiple cubicles—grey in color with blue carpet. I was trying to find a copier to copy some important papers.
So I came across a woman in her mid-fifties whom I assumed was a secretary. She was in one of the cubicles. I showed her my papers and asked her if there was a copier and if I could use it. She looked at me and smiled. She told me to follow her. She brought me to a large copy machine by a big window overlooking the city with a most beautiful, warm sunshine coming through. The sun rays illuminated us and the copier. Before I could say thank you, she started singing the chorus to the song—Pray The Blessed Virgin, Now! Soon she was joined by two other secretaries who started adding a Gospelesque flair to the song. I could hear the song so clearly and I began to hum the melody. After they finished the chorus this way, I awoke. I immediately jumped out of bed, went to my piano, turned it on, wrote down the lyrics and played the song into my sequencer to record it.
Interestingly, I played it in the key of C but it was really in Bb. Somehow my keyboard was transposed to Bb (I found out the next morning) which was the key I heard it in. I rarely transpose my keyboard and always return it to normal tuning before shut down. This allowed me to play it in the key that I heard it or else I may have forgotten it a 3 am.
Somehow the prayers were answered in the song to help people to heal emotionally and spiritually. I was just a vehicle through God to deliver the song to others. I hope it helps you to heal spiritually and brings you closer to God. Remember to pray the Rosary daily,I was entrusted the job of writing the rest of it—the intro, the verses, the lead, the bridge, the ending. I was also entrusted the duty to orchestrate and arrange the song. This is such a high honor that I feel humbled to have been chosen to complete the song and I try to give it to whomever needs it.
In Prayer to the Blessed Mother,
Dr. Joseph A Cavuto
