OFFICIUM PARVULUM



OFFICIUM PARVULUM [1]

Look into our little houses
in the darklight hours
of morn-singing and of eve-singing
in our love-lighted bowers,
Alma Redemptoris Mater. [2]

In the little convents
in the little towns
in the little patches of peace
all far from fools and clowns.
Ave Regina Coelorum. [3]


In patches of peace at singing
see the Mother among us.
Crosspatches of prayer!
But our Lady to help us.
Salve Regina Mater. [4]


Ladypatches of prayer at praising,
hear Mary among us,
our voice and our song,
Magnificat-flower lifting petals above us.
Regina Coeli Laetare. [5]

Sister M Rosalie SP
In: Laube. 1961



[1] Little Office
[2] Hail Mother of the Redeemer
[3] Hail Queen of Heaven
[4] Hail Queen Mother
[5] Oh Queen of Heaven, rejoice.
