Today Friday 8th December 2023 is the Solemnity of The Immaculate Conception.
"With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. "
Psalm 44
Douay-Rheims Bible
Though art totally beautiful, Mary,
and the stain of original sin has never been in you.
Thou art the glory of Jerusalem,
Thou art the joy of Israel,
Thou givest honour to our people.
Thou art an advocate of sinners.
O Mary,
Virgin most prudent
Mother most merciful.
Pray for us,
Intercede for us,
To the Lord Jesus Christ.
Tota pulchra es, Maria.
Et macula originalis non est in Te.
Tu gloria Ierusalem.
Tu laetitia Israel.
Tu honorificentia populi nostri.
Tu advocata peccatorum.
O Maria,
Virgo prudentissima.
Mater clementissima.
Ora pro nobis.
Intercede pro nobis.
Ad Dominum Iesum Christum.
Although this is a fifth century prayer, here is a beautiful sixteenth century arrangement by a Spanish composer Francisco Guerrero and sung by the magnificent ensemble “The Sixteen.”
