Queenship Of Mary May 31




Hail holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Amen.

Latin Version:

Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae: vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria. Amen.

This feast was transferred to Monday on my calendar, but it seems that this is only on the calendar I have after having seen various posts and pictures of coronations.

True. I just finished praying Matins and Lauds from Divinum Officium (Divinu Afflatu) , which is the  pre Pius XII Missal/Breviary.

Magdalena, Director got the jump on you with a breathtaking picture  :dancing-banana:

Meditating on her Queenship is a shining light of indescribable beauty in these dark days.

the devil trodden upon, man saved."--St. Anselm  




1.

Hail, Queen of Heaven, the ocean star,
 Guide of the wand'rer here below!
 Thrown on life's surge we claim thy care,
 Save us from peril and from woe.
 Mother of Christ, Star of the Sea,
 Pray for the wanderer, pray for me.

 
3.

Sojourneres in this vale of tears,
 To thee, blest advocate, we cry;
 Pity our sorrows, calm our fears,
 And soothe with hope our misery.
 Refuge in grief, Star of the Sea,
 Pray for the mourner, pray for me.

 

2.

O gentle, chaste, and spotless Maid,
 We sinners make our prayers through thee;
 Remind Thy Son that He has paid
 The price of our iniquity.
 Virgin most pure, Star of the Sea,
 Pray for the sinner, pray for me.

 
4.

And while to Him who reigns above,
 In Godhead One, in Persons Three,
 The source of life, of grace, of love,
 Homage we pay on bended knee;
 Do thou, bright Queen, Star of the Sea,
 Pray for thy children, pray for me.
 

Thank you for this thread Director.  

"Mary is that woman by whom hell is overcome,
the devil trodden upon, man saved."--St. Anselm

I can't tell you how often, when afraid, she has comforted me when I simply implore "Mary, crush the head of the serpent."  This must be a powerful prayer because the situation is always remedied.

Thank you for the support  PerEvangelicaDicta

All Graces come thru the hands of Mary, Our Queen and Mother.  We can never her too much love and homage.

Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}

At the summit of creation
thou standest as Queen,
O Virgin, abundantly enriched
with the beauty of the universe.

As the principal and most beautiful work of creation,
thou glitterest before the creating Word,
predestined as thou art
to bear the Son who produced thee.

Just as Christ, raised high on the tree
and empurpled in his own blood, is King,
so thou, as a sharer in his passion,
art the Mother of the living.

Adorned with such great glories,
look upon us as we acclaim thee,
and accept the grateful praise
we sing in thy honour.

All honor, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen.
