St. Casimir - "Omni die dic Mariae"

This beautiful hymn of St. Casimir, said to have been composed by St. Bernard is one of our favorite Marian Hymns.

Daily, Daily Sing to Mary

Daily, daily sing to Mary,
Sing, my soul, her praises due.
All her feasts, her actions worship
With the heart's devotion true.
Lost in wond'ring contemplation,
Be her Majesty confess'd.
Call her Mother, call her Virgin,
Happy Mother, Virgin blest.

She is mighty to deliver.
Call her, trust her lovingly.
When the tempest rages round thee,
She will calm the troubled sea.
Gifts of heaven she has given,
Noble Lady, to our race.
She, the Queen, who decks her subjects
With the light of God's own grace.

Sing, my tongue, the Virgin's trophies
Who for us her Maker bore.
For the curse of old inflicted,
Peace and blessing to restore.
Sing in songs of peace unending,
Sing the world's majestic Queen.
Weary not nor faint in telling.
All the gifts she gives to men. (c. 1150)

St. Casimir is the patron of Poland and Lithaunia, and the patron saint of youth.

Forgive me for using your comment box to ask you this, but I accidentally came across one of your old blogs where you talk about inserting clip art as widgets, and I have not managed to do it on my blog yet. It is driving me crazy not knowing how to do it.

I want to insert the text code on my text widget but most clip art does not have one. When you select the image you like on the clip art, you save it on your computer, but then how do you insert that as a widget?

Again, forgive me for writing this on your comment box but you have such a lovely site that I thought I could do with a few tips as to how to enhance mine.

Blessings,
