The Happy Month of Mary

May 2, 2019

 

Madonna of Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, Fra Filippo Lippi

Sweet Stewardess of God, thy prayers
We beg, who are God’s ransomed heirs.
O Virgin-born! O Flesh Divine!
Cleanse us, and make us wholly thine.

Mary, dear Mistress of my heart,
What thou wouldst have me do, impart.
Thou, who wert pure as driven snow,
Make me as thou wert here below.

O Queen of Heaven! obtain for me 
Thy glory there one day to see.
Oh then and there, on that bright day, 
To me thy womb’s chaste Fruit display.
