Remember
O Mary, standing there, You are good and I am bad, Please remember my poor soul always, And I will say: Ave Maria.

Queen
Bring flowers of the rarest, bring flowers of the fairest From garden and woodland and hillside and vale; Our full hearts are swelling, our glad voices telling The praise of the loveliest Rose of the vale. Oh Mary, we crown you with blossoms today, Queen of the Angels, Queen of the May.

Recourse
The Mother of God is called the ‘Plague of Demons,’ for it is not possible for a devil to destroy a man so long as the man himself has recourse to the help of the Mother of God. - St. Seraphim of Sarov
