Hymn to the Blessed Virgin Mary
A hymn sung by the monks of Glenstal Abbey on Marian feasts, written by Mark Patrick Hederman OSB and loosely based on the hymn 'Ave maris Stella.'
1. O MARY, ever Virgin,
Guiding star of the sea,
Lead us gently to harbour;
Teach us to be free.
2. O Morning Star arising,
Dawn of eternal life,
Grant us steadfast watchful-ness;
Save us from all strife.
3. O Ark of God’s great promise
Holding our God within,
Teach us how to worship him,
Virgin without sin.
4. O Burning Bush at Horeb
Blazing with inner fire,
Light our way from slavery;
purify desire.
5. O Lily of the Valley,
Heavenly falling dew,
Scattering fertility,
making all things new.
6. O Joy of God the Father,
Bearing his only Son,
Handmaid of the Paraclete,
May we all be one. Amen.

    That's all very well and good. But in fairness there are high fees that only the wealthy can afford. I understand that for practical reasons, but at least some charitable effort on your part via a scholarship programme for a small number of students would add some substance to the implied "wholesomeness" of your offering.

    Very interesting synopsis of your life and interests Fr Martin, coalescing into your current role within the Vatican. The Holy Spirit has a way of cajoling and bringing us to where he wants us to be and in my experience, it is seldom foreseeable. Like you, I have often wondered about the various splits between the churches, knowing that for many of these churches, we are often more similar than different in our core theology. You are missed in Glenstal, but I’m sure you will be back soon. Thank you Fr Martin for sharing this. Paul Whitehead
