Ave Maria

Ave Maria

I've posted this rendition of Ave Maria before.  It is my favorite version and seeing that it is May - Enjoy!!

Feast of the Ascension

Luke 24:46-52 ⁴⁶ And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, the third day:⁴⁷ And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ And you are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high. ⁵⁰ And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. ⁵¹ And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them, and was carried up to heaven. ⁵² And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy. ⁵³ And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen

May Crowning

Bring flow'rs of the fairest,
Bring flow'rs of the rarest,
From garden and woodland
And hillside and vale;
Our full hearts are swelling,
Our Glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest
Rose of the vale.

O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May,
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.
