Salve Regina


Salve, Regina
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae;
vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.
Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, o pia, o dulcis Virgo Maria.

 
 

Mother at Your feet is Kneeling -


 Mother at your Feet - Robert and Robin Kochis
 
Mother at your feet is kneeling
One who loves you, 'tis your child
Who has sighed so oft to see you
Bless me, Mother, bless your child.
Mother, when my Jesus calls me
From this world so dark and drear
From the wily snares of Satan,
Shield me, Mother, Mother dear.
Dearest Mother, tell my Jesus
How I love Him fond and true
And oh Mary, dearest Mother,
Tell Him I belong to you.
Plead for me when Jesus judges
Answer for me when He asks
How I spent so many moments,
How perform'd so many tasks.
Mary, oh my dearest Mother,
May it e'er to me be giv'n
As, on earth I fondly love Thee,
So, to love Thee still in Heav'n.

Dearest Mother, tell my Jesus
How I love Him fond and true
And oh Mary, dearest Mother,
Tell Him I belong to you.

Legion of Mary Celebration in honour of the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Sat., June 13, 2015


On the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary the Ottawa Regia of the Legion of Mary was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. An outdoor mass was celebrated by Ottawa Auxiliary Bishop Christian Riesbeck at Notre Dame de Lourdes Grotto. The mass was  Concelebrated by Fr. Hezuk Shroff, Spiritual Director of the Ottawa Regia and assisting was Deacon Jim Scheer, Spiritual director of Our Lady of Victory Praesidium from St. Patrick's Basilica. Our Blessed Mother surely interceded on the behalf of the Regia as ideal weather prevailed with lots of sunshine, a beautiful blue sky and white clouds, all wrapped in gentle breezes.  All were invited to a  reception provided by the host Praesidium Notre Dame du Bon Accueil in the parish hall of Notre Dame de Lourdes Church following the Mass.
