Catholic Hymnal: O Purest of Creatures! sweet mother, sweet maid
Beautiful! And how fortunate we are, in England's smallest county, to have a parish priest who allows the singing of hymns to Our Lady at the end of Mass.
And then there was O Mother Blest; Hail Queen of Heav'n the Ocean Star; Ave Maria! O Maiden O Mother; and the hymn we sang on the last day of term: O Causa Nostrae Laetitiae. It's a topsy-turvy world when feminists claim Our Lady as co-equal with her Son while the Catholic Church seems to have embarked on an airbrushing exercise. I think you have to be a bit careful about spoiling us, Jane. You might be fomenting rebellion in the ranks. By the way, I have been offering up prayers for you and your husband over recent incidents.
