Ab aeterno Dominus
Te praeordinavit
Matrem unigeniti
Verbi, quo creavit
Terram, pontum, aethera
Te pulchram ornavit
Sibi sponsam, quae
In Adam non peccavit
Elegit eam Deus, et praebelegit eam
In tabernaculo suo habitare fecit eam
Domina, protege orationem meam
Et clamor meus ad te venit
Translation:
Hail, Lady of the world
Queen of the heavens
Hail, Virgin most pure
Clear Star of the morning
Hail, full of grace
Clear light of the Divine
To the aid of the world
Make haste, O Lady!
From God’s eternity
You were predestined
Only-begotten Mother
Of the Word, He created You
The earth, sea, and sky
Through You He beautifully adorned
Himself Your bridegroom
In Adam He did not make a mistake
God elected Her, and pre-elected Her
He made Her to dwell in His tabernacle
O Lady, aid my prayer!
And let my cry come unto Thee.

Good morning, goddess, may you shine through
In all of the day, in all that I do
In my heart, in my hands, in my belly, in my thighs
Good morning, goddess, may I see through your eyes
Good morning, goddess, may I see life through your eyes
And when the day is o’er and it’s off to my bed
All the cares and the pains I shall gracefully shed
For your love carries me through the dark to the light
And when the day is o’er, oh, goddess, good night
And when the day is o’er, oh, goddess, sleep tight

Poem to Brigit

"Poem to Brigit"
It is what Brigit had a mind for
Lasting goodness that was not hidden
It is what Brigit had a mind for
Tending sheep and rising early
Hospitality toward good men
It is she keeps everyone
Who is in straits and in dangers
It is she puts down sicknesses
It is she quiets the voice of the waves
And the anger of the great sea
She is the queen of the south
She is the mother of the flocks
She is the Mary of the Gael

Daughter of Will
02:25

|
"Daughter of Will"
I am a daughter of will and the open fields.
I have no family, no-one me to shield
But the trees above me and the earth soft and sweet.
The green moss is my pillow, the flowers cover my feet
I am a daughter of God and of nature a child.
I bow down to God in craggy mountains wild,
In crashing waves, and in blazing fires,
Under open skies, in the fierce, prickly briars.
I am a daughter of the light in all creation.
‘Tis the heart of all life, light of the Holy One,
The brilliance of the sun and the white jewel of the night,
The whirling of the planets, the comets in their flight.
I am a daughter of stillness and the resting earth.
The night sky holds me, renewing me for birth,
The fallow ground prepares to bloom again,
Meditation on the mystery, creation’s amen.

"Ave Maris Stella"
Latin:
Ave maris stella, Dei mater alma
Atque semper virgo, felix coeli porta
Sumens illud ave, Gabrielis ore
Funda nos in pace, mutans nomen Hevae
Solve vincla reis, profer lumen caesis
Mala nostrae pele, bona cuncta posce
Monstra t’esse matrem sumat per te preces
Qui pro nobis natus tulit esse tuus
Virgo singularis inter omnes mitis
Nos culpis volutes mites fac et castos
Vitam praesta puram inter para tutum
Ut videntes Jesum semper collaetemur
Sit laus Deo Patri summor Christo decus
Spiritui Sancto, Tribus honor Unus. Amen.
Translation:
Hail, star of the sea, sweet mother of God
And always virgin, favorable gate of heaven
Taking that “Ave” from the mouth of Gabriel
Placing us in peace, changing the name of “Eva”
Break the bonds of sinners, bring light to the blind
Chase all evils, beg for all good things
Show yourself to be a mother, prayers ascend through you
Which for us your Son accepted
Singular virgin among all, mild
Make us safe from sin, mild and chaste
Allow a pure life, prepare a safe journey
So that seeing Jesus we may always rejoice
May praise be the God, the Father, glory to the high son
With the Holy Spirit, honor to the Three in One.

"Ave Maris Stella / Ode to Brigid"
Latin:
Ave Maris Stella, Dei mater alma
Atque semper virgo, felix, coeli porta
Gabhaim molta Brighde, Iníon í le hÉireann,
Iníon le gach tír í, molaiimís go léir í
Lóchrann geal na Laighneach, soils’ ar feadh na tire,
Ceann ar óigheacht Éireann, ceann na mban ar mine
Tig an geimhreadh dian dubh, gearra lena géire,
Ach ar lá le Brighde, gar duinn Earrach Éireann
Monstra t’esse matrem sumat per te preces
Qui pro nobis natus tulit esse tuus
Translation:
Hail, star of the sea, sweet mother of God
And always virgin, favorable gate of heaven
I sing loudly the praises of Bridget, she it is who is a daughter not just of Ireland, but of all the countries of the world. Let us all praise her.
A shining lantern of Leinster, a flame throughout the land, leader of the women of Ireland, one of the finest women ever.
The hard dark winter comes, short and sharp, but once Bridget’s day appears, Ireland’s Spring is not far behind.
Show yourself to be a mother, prayers ascend through you
Which for us your Son accepted
