Great Prayers to the Mother of God
| Ave
Maris Stella Hail, thou star of the ocean, Portal of the sky; Ever Virgin Mother Of the Lord most high. Oh ! By Gabriel's AVE, Uttered long ago, EVA's name reversing, 'Stablish peace below. Break the captive's 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 these 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 endeavour; Till with thee and Jesus We rejoice for ever. Through the highest Heaven, To the almighty Three, FATHER, SON and SPIRIT, One same glory be. |
Prayer to the Virgin "August Queen of the Heavens, Sovereign Mistress of the Angels. From the Beginning you received from God the power and the mission to crush the head of Satan. We humbly ask you to send your holy Legions so that under your command and through your power, they may pursue all demons, combat them everywhere, suppress their boldness and drive them back into the abyss."
