III THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD Sweet Mother Mary, meditating on the Mystery of the Nativity of Our Lord, when thy time being completed, thou didst bring forth, O holy Virgin, the Redeemer of the world in a stable at Bethlehem; whereupon choirs of Angels filled the heavens with their exultant song of praise-----"Glory to God in the hihest and on earth peace to men of good will," I humbly pray: Our Father, 10 Haily Marys, Glory Be to the Father. and the Fatima Decade Prayer: O MY JESUS, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who are most in need of Thy mercy. I bind these snow-white buds with a petition for the virtue of DETACHMENT FROM THE WORLD and humbly lay this bouquest at thy feet. |
