THE ANGELUS

 

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.

R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

(Hail Mary ...)

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.

R. May it be done unto me according to thy word.

(Hail Mary ...)

V. And the word was made flesh.

R. And dwelt among us.

(Hail Mary ...)

 

V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

 

Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to

whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an

angel, may by His passion and cross be brought to the glory of His

resurrection, through the same Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

 

PRAYER TO GOD TO ACCEDE TO MARY

 

Almighty and everlasting God, who by the cooperation of the Holy Spirit

prepared the body and soul of the glorious Virgin-Mother Mary to be a fit

dwelling for your Son, grant that we who rejoice in her memory may be freed by

her kindly prayers both from present ills and from eternal death; through the

same Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

AVE MARIS STELLA

 

Ave Maris Stella

Dei Mater alma,

Atque semper virgo,

Felix coeli porta.

 

Sumens illud ave

Gabrielis ore,

Funda nos in pace,

Mutans Evae nomen

 

Solve vincia reis

Profer lumen caecis

Mala nostra pelle,

Bona cuncta posce.

 

Monstra te esse Matrem

Sumat per te preces

Qui pro nobis natus

Tulit esse tuus

Virgo singularis

Inter omnes mitis

Nos culpis solutos

Mites fac et castos.

 

Vitam presta puram

Iter para tutum,

Ut, videntes Jesum

Semper collaetemur

Sit laus Deo Patri,

Summo Cristo decus

Spiritui sancto:

Tribus honor unus.

Amen.

 

 

HAIL THOU STAR OF OCEAN

 

Hail thou star of ocean

Portal of the sky

Ever virgin Mother

Of the Lord Most High

 

O! by Gabriel's Ave

Uttered long ago,

Eva's name reversing,

Established peace below

 

Break the captives' fetters,

Light on blindness pour,

All our ills expelling,

Every bliss implore

 

Show thyself a Mother,

Offer Him our sighs,

Who for us incarnate

Did not thee despise

Virgin of all virgins

To thy shelter take us,

Gentlest of the gentle

Chaste and gentle make us

 

Still, as on we journey,

Help our weak endeavor,

Till with thee and Jesus

We rejoice forever

Through the highest heaven,

To the almighty Three

Father, Son, and Spirit,

One same glory be.

Amen.
