Ave Maris Stella
Promises To Those Who Sing: “Ave Maris Stella”
During a riot at Rome, a mob came to the house where St. Bridget lived; a leader talked of burning Bridget alive. She prayed to Our Lord to know if she should flee to safety. Jesus advised her to stay: “It doesn’t matter if they plot Thy death. My power will break the malice of Thy enemies: if Mine crucified Me, it is because I permitted it.” Our blessed Mother added: “Sing as a group the AVE MARIS STELLA and I’ll guard you from every danger.”
Hail
thou star of ocean
Portal
of the sky
Ever
virgin Mother
Of the
Lord Most High
O! by
Gabriel’s Ave,
Uttered
long ago,
Eva’s
name reversing,
Established
peace below
Break the captives’ 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
Through the highest heaven,
To the
almighty Three
Father,
Son, and spirit,
One
same glory be.
Amen.
