Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I was checking a few emails before hopping off to bed. A friend sent me an email card the other day for the Feast of OL of Mt. Carmel.

The poem attached was by Edgar Allan Poe. I studied him in high school and my oldest ds studied him in 10th grade. I never knew Poe wrote anything like this!

Does anyone know if he was Catholic? Too tired to go google right now.

Here's the poem:

At morn, at noon,
at twilight dim,
Maria, thou hast heard my hymn:
In joy and woe,
in good and ill,
Mother of God,
be with me still.
When the hours flew brightly by,
And not a cloud obscured the sky,
My soul, lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to thine and thee.
Now, when storms of fate o'ercast
Darkly my present and my past,
Let my future radiant shine
With sweet hopes of thee and thine.

~ Edgar Allan Poe

Well I did google it... and it appears that no-one really knows...
Will have to delve a little deeper!
