The Octave of the Blessed Virgin Maria
Salve Sancta Parens: Italy 1420 - Cleveland Museum of Art (Open Access)

The Octave of the Blessed Virgin Maria

This Thursday, August 22, we will pray the Octave of the Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven.

What does this mean? First of all, we will redouble our monastic practice of surrendering all to Christ, and invoking Our Lady for supplication and advocacy. This implies prayer and music. The music of the Gregorian Chant, set in our hermitage in the forest.

Salve, sancta Parens, enixera puerpera Regem: qui caelum terramque regit in saecula saeculorum, alleluia, alleluia.

Hail, Holy Mother, who brought forth the King, for He rules heaven and earth forever, alleluia, alleluia.

Exalta est Sancta Dei Genitrix. Super choros Angelorum ad caelestia regna.

The Holy Mother of God is exalted. Over the choirs of angels in the heavenly kingdom.

Why and wherefore are we praying these prayers?

Inquire pacem et persequere eam.

Let peace be your quest and aim.

Peace and blessings for all.

S.D.G. Soli Deo Gloria.
