May you, merciful one, bring to pass what we pray for who are strong for the struggle. Alma Redemptoris Mater: O loving Mother of our Redeemer, gate of heaven, star of the sea, hasten to aid thy fallen people who strive to rise once more. Thou who brought forth thy holy Creator, all creation wondering, yet remainest ever Virgin, taking from Gabriel’s lips that joyful “Ave,” be merciful to us sinners. Ave Maria: Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Magnificat: My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded: the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold, from henceforth: all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him: throughout all generations. He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel: as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed forever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei: Holy Mary, mother of God, I owe everything to you, from this hour, I dedicate myself solely to your service. I elect you as my patroness and protectress, In my heart I will always honor and venerate you, I will never abandon my devotion or allow it to be profaned by word or deed by those placed in my care. Holy Mary, receive my prayers as I kneel at your feet, protect me in life, and defend me at the hour of my death. Amen. Corelli’s ‘Pastorale’ paints an image of the shepherds surrounding Christ’s manger in Bethlehem. In Italy rural shepherds played their pipes at Nativity scenes in gentle lilting “Siciliano.” The violins represent the soothing lullaby Mary sings as she rocks the Babe to sleep, while the cattle nod and low in the lower strings.
