Hail Virgin most holy,
In mercy descending,
To save us poor sinners,
From sorrow unending.

Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!

How calm is thy shining
Above earth's commotion!
Give peace to the nations,
Thou Star of the Ocean.

Be thou our salvation,
Our refuge in life and
Our true consolation.

We pray for the Church
In the hour of her mourning,
We pray for all sinners
Still deaf to thy warning.

Its gentle appealing.

That the world may find healing.

Let's pray to the Holy Ghost to give many graces to everyone sitting exams at this time of year. May they remember their Confirmation and the Holy Ghost, their best friend.

[Catholic Heritage Ireland @catholicheritag]

It's no coincidence that the State Exams begin around Pentecost Novena time. Come, Holy Ghost! Bless all students doing exams!

Venerándum tuum verum et únicum Fílium;
Sanctum quoque Paráclitum Spíritum.
Tu Rex glóriæ, Christe.

Also the Holy Ghost the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ.

O Mary, dearest Mother! 
Thy month has come again, 
Of all the months most welcome 
To angels and to men.
The month of birds and blossoms 
And flowers, sunny May, 
When earth and sky, dear Mother! 
To thee fond tributes pay.
-Fr. Matthew Russell, S.J.

[Catholic Heritage Ireland @catholicheritag]

Our voices ascending,
In harmony blending,
Oh! Thus may our hearts turn
Dear Mother, to thee;
Oh! Thus shall we prove thee
How truly we love thee,
How dark without Mary
Life's journey would be.
O Mary! We crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May!

[Catholic Heritage Ireland @catholicheritag]

Sing gaily in chorus;
the bright angels o'er us
re-echo the strains we begin upon earth;
their harps are repeating
the notes of our greeting,
for Mary herself is the cause of our mirth.
O Mary! We crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May!

[Catholic Heritage Ireland @catholicheritag]

How fair so-ever be the form
Which here your eyes behold,
Its beauty is by Mary's self
Excell'd a thousandfold.

Most holy Mary, at thy feet
I bend a suppliant knee,
In this thine own sweet month of May
Pray thou to God for me!
