Magnificat Antiphon: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.
... sentiant omnes tuum iuvamen, ...May all experience Thy help -
all who are celebrating Thy holy feast.
Benedicamus Domino.Let us bless the Lord.
Mass of the Feast.
Celebrated by Father Anthony Mary, F.SS.R.
on his 19th anniversary of Ordination.
Offertory.Offerimus tibi, Domine, calicem salutaris, ...
We offer unto Thee, O Lord, the chalice of salvation,
beseeching Thy clemency,
that it may ascend in the sight of Thy divine majesty
with a sweet savour,
for our own salvation and for that of the whole world.
Amen.
Consecration.Haec quotiescumque feceritis,
in mei memoriam facietis.
As often as ye shall do these things,
ye shall do them in remembrance of Me.
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.
ReplyDeleteMother 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.
