ALMA REDEMPTORIS MATER - From Saturday before the first Sunday of Advent (30th November) until 1st February 2020.

Loving Mother of the Redeemer,
door to heaven and star of the sea,
come to the aid of thy people,
fallen indeed, but striving to rise;
while the whole of nature marvelled,
thou didst give birth, to thy own holy Creator.
Virgin from the beginning to the end,
thou heardest from the mouth of Gabriel that greeting:
‘Hail’, Oh, take pity on us sinners!
