If you want to master the Marian antiphon for this season, you can listen to it HERE sung by the Benedictine Monks of the Abbey at Ganagobie.
- Hail, O Queen of Heaven enthroned.
- Hail, by angels mistress owned.
- Root of Jesse, Gate of Morn
- Whence the world's true light was born:
- Glorious Virgin, Joy to thee,
- Loveliest whom in heaven they see;
- Fairest thou, where all are fair,
- Plead with Christ our souls to spare.
- V. Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O sacred Virgin.
- R. Give me strength against thine enemies.
- Let us pray.
- We beseech thee, O Lord, mercifully to assist our infirmity: that like as we do now commemorate Blessed Mary Ever-Virgin, Mother of God; so by the help of her intercession we may die to our former sins and rise again to newness of life.
- Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
