Ave mundi spes Maria, ave mitis, ave pia, ave plena gratia. 

Ave virgo singularis, quć per rubum designaris non passus incendia. 
Ave rosa speciosa, ave Jesse virgula: 
Cujus fructus nostri luctus relaxavit vincula. 

Ave cujus viscera contra mortis foedera ediderunt filium. 
Ave carens simili, mundo diu flebili reparasti gaudium. 
Ave virginum lucerna, per quam fulsit lux superna his quos umbra tenuit. 
Ave virgo de qua nasci, et de cujus lacte pasci res cćlorum voluit. 

Ave gemma coeli luminarium. 
Ave Sancti Spiritus sacrarium. 

Oh, quam mirabilis, et quam laudabilis hćc est virginitas! 
In qua per spiritum facta paraclitum fulsit foecunditas. 

Oh, quam sancta, quam serena, quam benigna, quam amoena esse virgo creditur! 
Per quam servitus finitur, posta coeli aperitur, et libertas redditur. 
Oh, castitatis lilium, tuum precare filium, qui salus est humilium: 
Ne nos pro nostro vitio, in flebili judicio subjiciat supplicio. 

Sed nos tua sancta prece mundans a peccati fćce collocet in lucis domo. 
Amen dicat omnis homo.

Hail, hope of the world, Mary, hail, meek one, hail, loving one, hail, full of grace 
Hail O singular virgin, who wast chosen to not suffer flames through brambles 
Hail, beautiful rose, hail, staff of Jesse: 
Whose fruit loosened the chains of our weeping 
Hail whose womb bore a son against the law of death 
Hail, O one lacking comparison, still tearfully renewing joy for the world 
Hail, lamp of virgins, through whom the heavenly light shone on these whom shadow holds. 
Hail, O virgin from whom a thing of heaven wished to be born, and from whose milk feed. 
Hail, gem of the lamps of heaven 
Hail, sanctuary of the Holy Ghost 
O, how wonderful, and how praiseworthy is this virginity! 
In whom, made through the spirit, the paraclete, shone fruitfulness. 
O how holy, how serene, how kind, how pleasant the virgin is believed to be! 
Through whom slavery is finished, a place of heaven is opened, and liberty is returned. 
O, lily of chastity, pray to thy son, who is the salvation of the humble: 
Lest we through our fault, in the tearful judgment suffer punishment. 
But may she, by her holy prayer, purifying from the dregs of sin, place us in a home of light 
Amen let every man say.

The Truth About Mary and Scripture (a very good video!)

This video really is EXCELLENT, especially the second half where it discusses Mary’s sinlessness and assumption into heaven. I meant to link it in my earlier post about Mary but couldn’t find it. So here it is.

I LOVE THIS VIDEO! I HAVE to reblog this again! It gives an amazing scriptural basis for the Church’s teaching on Mary.

All Christians who deny the Church’s teaching on Mary…watch this! You will not regret it!

For those who have not heard of Our Lady of Fatima—most especially who I was just speaking with. 
Our Lady always points to her Son. For who I was just speaking with, I have this movie if you’d like to borrow.
