Something for Mary ~ Preparing for Our Lady of Fatima

We're preparing for a very special feast for Our Lady on Wednesday...

Here is one of my favorite hymns to Mary for today:

 Bring Flowers to the Rarest

Refrain:
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today!
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.

Bring flowers of the rarest
bring blossoms the fairest,
from garden and woodland and hillside and dale;
our full hearts are swelling,
our glad voices telling
the praise of the loveliest flower of the vale!
Refrain

Their lady they name thee,
Their mistress proclaim thee,
Ah, grant that thy children on earth be as true
as long as the bowers
are radiant with flowers,
as long as the azure shall keep its bright hue
Refrain

Sing gaily in chorus;
the bright angels o'er us
re-echo the strains we begin upon earth;
their harps are repeating
the notes of our greeting,
for Mary herself is the cause of our mirth
Refrain   (Traditional Marian Hymn)

We have been busy working on some of our special decorations for the day:

 

Looking forward to showing you all of our fun on Wednesday! Many blessings in your day and make a petition to Our Lady to help you in your day :)

Oh how very precious of your little guy to paint so beautifully for Mother Mary! Mary's Fatima feastday is one of my very favorites! Bring Flowers to the Rarest is such an awesome song, too!

BTW, Meredith, I am loving your new book, Mondays with Mary. Thanks so much for writing it for us all!!!

Big Hugs!!!
