Solemn First Vespers.
Laetatus sum in his, quae dicta sunt mihi :* ...
I rejoiced at the things that were said to me:
We shall go into the house of the Lord.

Sancta Maria, succurre miseris, ...
Holy Mary, succour those in misery,
strengthen the faint-hearted, comfort the sorrowful,
pray for the people, intercede for the clergy,
plead for all women consecrated to God.

May all experience Thy help -
all who are celebrating Thy holy feast.

Let us bless the Lord.
Mass of the Feast.
Celebrated by Father Anthony Mary, F.SS.R.
on his 19th anniversary of Ordination.

Obviously I haven't been paying attention since I haven't previously noticed that there are two chapels. The first one, which seems quite cramped, must be on Papa Stronsay, and I guess the second one is on Stronsay.
Mother of Perpetual Help, * with the greatest confidence we kneel before you. * We implore your help in the problems of our daily lives. * Trials and sorrows often depress us; * misfortunes and privations being misery into our lives; * everywhere we meet the cross. * Comforter of the Afflicted * beg your Son, Jesus, * to strengthen us as we bear our burdens * and to free us from our sufferings. * Or if it be the will of God * that we should suffer still longer, * help us endure all with live and patience. * May we follow the example of your Son, * and through him, * with him, * and in him, * commend ourselves to the care of our heavenly Father.
"Mother of Perpetual Succour pray for us they children"
(taught to me by my mother who had a picture of her bought at a Redemptorist Mission)
"Show Thyself to be my Mother"
(Prayer for my children to see written on her picture in our home as they grew up)
