Hail to Mary
Hail to Mary, mother of God
From sunrise to sunset
Magnify her, glorify her
Put her always in your heart
She has born unto us
The savior of the world
He came and saved our souls
And forgave us our sins
She’s the Lady and the Virgin
Our queen in heaven
She’s above the Cherubim
And praised by the Seraphim
She’s famous and well know
As the best shelter to rest
Try her and you will find that
For your help she’s always there
Please O Mary, pray for us
And the sinners to return
Teach us and guide all of us
For you are the faithful saint.
I carry your precious name a Holy Mother of Christ, forgive me if I am unworthy of such a name. Intercede on my behalf and when I’m weary or weak please guide me unto the path of your beloved Son.
In His Name
Mary

kol sana wa antom tayebeen!!god be with all of you!!
u never heard of st. mary's fast????? :o :o :o
ofcorse i did....but i never get a chance to fast!! :'(
it is not just gidos and tazas and the week is for you to get ready for the fast!and some people fastwith water and oil because they love saint mary so much!!
its not water and oil, its water and salt. the ppl that fast like that actually deprive them selves from oil, so no fries (lol). its just when they cook the dont put oil in the food, differs in taste. now what on earth is "gidos and tazzas"???? ???
I think what they meant was gedo and TETAS! ;)
May the Lord keep His people and church in peace, with the intercession of Our Lady and the pride of our race the pure Virgin St. Mary.
