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 have just started back saying the Little Office of the Immaculate Conception and I really love the 'poems' recited, but there is alot in them that I don't understand their meaning or origin, for example:

"Hail dial of Achas,
On you the true sun
Told backward the course
Which from old he had run;"

I am not sure what they are exactly referring to (Old Testament?) and how does this connect to Our Lady? I'm facinated - I know it sure to be something profound and beautiful...

Is there anywhere on the net or a book that can explain all the meanings to the 7 poems or hymns?
