Entrance Hymn: Hail, Queen of Heaven
Hail, Queen of Heaven, the ocean Star,
Guide of the wanderer 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. |
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. |
May, the Month of Mary
For many centuries now, the month of May is dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus. Hence we have some Marian hymns at our Masses throughout the month. It is a time to ensure that we recite the rosary daily. This is an easy prayer to say, either personally or as a family. During each decade we reflect on the mysteries: Sunday and Wednesday – the Glorious Mysteries; Monday and Saturday – the Joyful Mysteries; Tuesday and Friday – the Sorrowful Mysteries; Thursday – the Mysteries of Light.

Recessional Hymn: Bring Flowers of the Fairest
Bring flow’rs of the fairest,
Bring flow’rs of the rarest,
From garden and woodland
And hillside and vale;
Our full hearts are swelling,
Our Glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest
Rose of the vale. |
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
Their lady they name thee, Their mistress proclaim thee, Oh, grant that thy children on earth be as true As long as the bowers Are radiant with flowers As long as the azure shall keep its bright blue. |
