| Praises to the Holy Virgin | |
O Virgin Mary, our Mother preeminent
above all on earth.Response: Come to our assistance and show us mercy, because thou art our Mother. Above all others, thou were attentive to
the Word of the Father, who does great things in thy
honor. Thou art the most worthy temple of the Most Holy
Trinity. In thee is that same purity the Angels enjoy. The Christian world proclaims that thou doth reign on the
right side of the King of Kings. O Mother of Grace! O our
hope! Port for the shipwrecked and star of the sea. Gate
of Heaven, health of the sick, light in the darkness. Through thee, we will find ourselves before God in the
court of the Saints, where He lives and reigns. Guide our
steps and help us, O sweet Mary, in our last hours. Receive this praise from our tender lips, which cannot
express thy singular grandeur. Antiphon: Holy
Mary save the miserable,
help the weak, intercede for the afflicted, plead for the V. Pray for us, O Virgin of Good Success!R. So that we may be made worthy to receive the promises of Christ. | |
