Our Morning Offering – 17 August – “The Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary”

Save Us, O Mary!
By Pope Pius XII (1876-1958)
(Pontiff 1939-1958)

O Virgin, fair as the moon,
delight of the Angels
and Saints in Heaven,
grant that we may become like thee
and that our souls
may receive a ray of thou beauty,
which does not decline with the years
but shines forth into eternity.
O Mary, sun of Heaven,
restore life where there is death
and enlighten spirits,
where there is darkness.
Turn thy countenance to thy children
and radiate upon us
thy light and thy fervour.
O Mary, powerful as an army,
grant victory to our ranks.
We are very weak
and our enemy rages with uttermost conceit.
But under thy banner
we are confident of overcoming him. ….
Save us, O Mary,
fair as the moon,
bright as the sun,
awe-inspiring as an army set in battle array
and sustained, not by hatred
but by the ardour of love.
Amen
