As May is traditionally the month of Mary, on the pOddcast, we’ve added a recording of Orin a number of years ago singing the Gregorian Chant “Salve Regina” known to most folks in English as the prayer “Hail Holy Queen.” Orin had recorded this for an in-house Shrine video on the life of St. Eugene DeMazenod, founder of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (who own and operate the Shrine) whose feast is also this month (the 21st).
Find the pOddcast, as always, in the usual places.
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our Life, our Sweetness, and our Hope.
To Thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To Thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
Thine Eyes of Mercy toward us, and after this our exile show us the
Blessed Fruit of thy Womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
