FIRST TRIMESTER EXAM OUTLINE

Alma Redemptoris Mater

Here is a link to the Alma Redemptoris Mater, a beautiful hymn to Mary sung during Advent.
Alma Redemptoris Mater

This is one of four Marian antiphons, traditionally said or sung after night prayer, immediately before going to sleep. It is said from the beginning of Advent (from night before the fourth Sunday before Christmas) through February 1.
In English:
O Loving Mother of our Redeemer
O loving Mother of our Redeemer, gate of heaven, star of the sea,
Hasten to aid thy fallen people who strive to rise once more.
Thou who brought forth thy holy Creator, all creation wond'ring,
Yet remainest ever Virgin, taking from Gabriel's lips
that joyful "Hail!": be merciful to us sinners.
