meet the divine approval and call out the help of God. Just to put ourselves utterly at God's disposal is the clearing of all life. "Into Thy hands," is the solution of all difficulties.

I sing a maiden

That is matchless; King of all kings

To her Son she ches.

He came all so still

To His Mother's bower,

As dew in April

That falleth on the flower.

Mother and maiden

Was never none but she;

Well might such a lady

God's Mother be.

Grant, we beseech thee, O Lord God, to us thy servants, that we may evermore enjoy health of mind and body, and by the glorious intercession of blessed Mary, ever a virgin, be delivered from present sorrows and enjoy everlasting gladness. Through.
