Our Morning Offering – 9 May – “The Month of the Blessed Virgin Mary”
Hail to Thee, Forever Virgin,
Mother of God,
By St Methodius of Olympus (Died c311)
Hail to thee forever-Virgin
Mother of God,
our unceasing joy!
for unto thee do I again return. . . .
Hail, thou fount of the Son’s Love for man. . . .
Wherefore, we pray thee,
the most excellent among women,
who boast in the confidence
of thy maternal honours
that thou wouldst, unceasingly,
keep us in remembrance.
O holy Mother of God,
remember us, I say,
who make our boast in thee
and who, in august hymns
celebrate thy memory
which will ever live
and never fade away.
Amen
(From “Oration on Simeon and Anna”)
