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.

Back in November 2023, I announced a wonderful new resource: a booklet, Sanctissimum Rosarium in Cantu, that sets the Latin prayers of the Rosary to Gregorian chant psalm tones, in order to make the chanting of it very easy to do. All that would be needed for a chanted Rosary—the Apostles’ Creed, the announcing of the mysteries, the Pater Noster, the Ave Maria, the Gloria Patri, the Salve Regina (simple, solemn, monastic), and the prayer after the Rosary—was included.

The reception was overwhelming. Many found it ideal for long hikes or pilgrimages, a rosary rally, or even the long drive to Mass on Sunday, where the additional time involved in singing the prayers would not feel out of place, as it might in a standard group or individual recitation.

However, certain readers contacted the publisher and suggested a larger selection of chants. We listened carefully to the wish lists, and got to work!

Our newly-released second edition—a conveniently-sized 5” x 7” book with a new cover—has more than twice the content.

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.
