Solemnity of Mary the Mother of God - January 2, 2021-

Outstanding Homily - Best I've ever heard on Mary, Mother of God

Thank you Father Hezuk Shroff



I joined Father Shroff's ZOOM meeting at 11 this morning and I am so happy I did. 
Father gave an in depth presentation of Mary the Mother of God. 
( It's all there in Father's Homily as well) 
We began with a prayer and closed with this beautiful Advent Christmas antiphon  
sung in Gregorian Chant by the Benedictine Nuns of Saint Cecilia in the UK. 
It was so beautiful and I tried to find it on youtube.  
I found this version by Benedictine nuns but from another Abbey. 
Very beautiful as well 




Translation 

Loving Mother of the Redeemer
who remains the accessible gateway of Heaven 
And Star of the Sea,
Come to the aid of a fallen people 
That strives to rise again.
Thou who didst engender 
Thy Holy Engenderer, O Marvel of nature, 
Virgin before and ever after,
Reciting that Ave from the mouth of Gabriel, 
Have Mercy on us!
