Prayer to Our Lady of Light
OUR Lady of Light, spouse of the Holy Ghost, I give thee my whole self, soul and body, all I have, or may have, to keep for Jesus, that I may be His for evermore.
Our Lady of Light, spouse of the Holy Ghost, pray for me.
The Hymn Ave, Maris Stella
HAIL, thou star of 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,
Establish 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 thee 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 endeavor,
Till with thee and Jesus
We rejoice forever.
