Sub Tuum Praesidium

We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

The Golden Mass in Honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary


The ancient (8th Century) Missa Aurea (Golden Mass), also known as Missa Angelica, in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is offered in patrimonial English at 7am on the Saturdays of Advent by candlelight at Saint John Henry Newman Catholic Church, 849 Old Esquimalt Road (Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish). Rosary and Benediction.
"Rorate caeli" or "Rorate coeli" ('Drop down, ye heavens') are the opening words of Isaiah 45:8 in the Latin Vulgate. The text appears at several points in the Christian liturgy of the Western Church during Advent.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
O Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in thy prayers. By thee it was that Jesus, our Saviour and hope, was given to the world; and He has given thee to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom thou didst receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of thy Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith, fruitful in good works, we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with thee in our heavenly home. Amen.
