Psalm 78
of the Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary
by St. Bonaventure

O Lady, the heathen have come into the inheritance of God:
which thou hast established in Christ by thy merits.

Let thy speech be sweet before Him:
and unite me to Him who hath redeemed me.

Stretch forth thine arm against the cruel enemy:
and unfold to me his craft.

Thy voice is sweet above every melody:
the angelic harmony cannot be compared with it.

Drop down on me the sweetness of thy graces:
and the fragrance of thy heavenly gifts.

Act of Hope
from the Small Roman Missal

Since Thou vouchsafest to come and dwell within me, O my Redeemer! What may I not expect from Thy bounty! I therefore present myself before Thee with that lively confidence which Thine infinite goodness inspires. Thou not only knowest all my wants, but Thou art also willing and able to relieve them. Thou hast not only invited me, but also promised me Thy gracious assistance: "Come to Me all ye that labour and are burdened, and I will refresh you." Behold, then, O Lord, I accept of Thy gracious invitation; lay before Thee all my wants, my misery, and my blindness, and confidently hope, without the fear of being disappointed, that Thou wilt enable me to persevere, unto the end of my life, in Thy service. "In Thee, O Lord, have I hoped; I shall not be confounded forever."

O Glory of Virgins
(o gloriousa virginum)
by St. Venantius Fortunatus

Where troops of virgins follow the Lamb
Through the streets of the golden city,
Who is she walks in the lily throng
Clothed with the sun
Her mantle flowing like an azure wave
To the jewel pavement?
High in her arms for all to adore
She holds a Man-Child.
She leads the mystic song that swells and soars
Like the noise of many waters,
With the voice of her own Magnificat.
The glory of virgins is she, a maiden mother.
O Mary, where your Jesus leads, you follow,
The first of pearl-pure human souls.
The prize that reckless Eve has tossed away,
You stretch a generous hand to give again,
And draw the earth's sad exiles
To their promises land of joy.
O doorway of the mighty King!
O radiant threshold of His light!
Life-giving Virgin!
Nations redeemed praise you with jubilation.
Jesus, Son of Mary,
Father and loving Spirit,
Glory to You forever and ever. Amen.

Beautiful prayer by St. Venantius. Copied and emailed to my aunt. Prayers for all fallen-away Catholics.   Thanks, Shin. Smiley

I'm thinking aloud, should I go for Adoration or for Mass in the evening?  Adoration is from 10 to 6. Mass is at 6:30 Hmmm Huh?

Well it's a holy day of obligation in the U.S. if you have not gone already. Cheesy

Yes, it's a special feast for the U.S. Cheesy

Elsewhere in the world it is not, but here it is!

Be careful, holy day of obligation mass times are often different than regular daily mass times!
