Salve Regina

The words and music for the Salve Regina were composed in the 11th century by a monk known as Hermanus Contractus, or, Hermann the Cripple.

Born into a wealthy and noble Wolverad family of Southern Germany, he was baptized Hermann. The 14 children of this family were outstanding in ability and education. But, Hermann was born a crippled person, so was not considered to be a "typical Wolverad."

In time, Hermann entered a monastery on an island, Richenau, in Lake Constance. He was in constant pain. The monks designed a special chair to carry and help him. His mind richly expanded. He learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He became a musician and poet. He built an Astrolabe, an instrument for calculating the elevation of the stars. He built many kinds of musical instruments for the monks, and even made docks to keep them punctual.

Though constantly in pain, it was said that Hermanus Contractus never complained. His reason was that he saw Mary as his mother on earth and in heaven. He trusted her, prayed to her, and sang to her. And, he said that Mary taught him to be happy in the midst of his daily sufferings.

Into his masterpiece, Salve Regina, Hermann the Contracted poured all his love for the Blessed Mother. He died in 1054; "probably the best of the Wolverad family," Father Whealon says.

Father adds that the Salve Regina became popular as an evening song in Europe. Guilds and confraternities used to sing it in the open market-places. In time it became the regular conclusion of evening devotions or Vespers in the churches.

Feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola

St. Ignatius Loyola was born in 1491 to a family of minor nobility in northern Spain. As a young man, Ignatius Loyola was a soldier and dreamed of doing great deeds. But in 1521 Ignatius was gravely wounded in a battle with the French.

After being seriously wounded at the Battle of Pamplona in 1521, he underwent a spiritual conversion while in recovery. De Vita Christi by Ludolph of Saxony inspired Loyola to abandon his previous military life and devote himself to labour for God, following the example of spiritual leaders such as Francis of Assisi. He experienced a vision of the Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus while at the shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat in March 1522. Thereafter he went to Manresa, where he began praying for seven hours a day, often in a nearby cave, while formulating the fundamentals of the Spiritual Exercises.

The later years of Ignatius were spent in Rome in partial retirement, the correspondence inevitable in governing the Society leaving no time for those works of active ministry which in themselves he much preferred. His health too began to fail. In 1551, when he had gathered the elder fathers to revise the constitutions, he laid his resignation of the generalate in their hands, but they refused to accept it then or later.
In the summer of 1556 Ignatius was attacked by Roman fever. His doctors did not foresee any serious consequences, but he did. On 30 July, 1556, he asked for the last sacraments and the papal blessing, but he was told that no immediate danger threatened. Next morning at daybreak, the infirmarian found him lying in peaceful prayer, so peaceful that he did not at once perceive that the saint was actually dying. When his condition was realized, the last blessing was given, but the end came before the holy oils could be fetched. Perhaps he had prayed that his death, like his life, might pass without any demonstration.

MAY is Mary’s month, and I
Muse at that and wonder why:
Her feasts follow reason,
Dated due to season—

Candlemas, Lady Day;
But the Lady Month, May,
Why fasten that upon her,
With a feasting in her honour?

Is it only its being brighter
Than the most are must delight her?
Is it opportunest
And flowers finds soonest?

Ask of her, the mighty mother:
Her reply puts this other
Question: What is Spring?—
Growth in every thing—

Flesh and fleece, fur and feather,
Grass and greenworld all together;
Star-eyed strawberry-breasted
Throstle above her nested

Cluster of bugle blue eggs thin
Forms and warms the life within;
And bird and blossom swell
In sod or sheath or shell.

All things rising, all things sizing
Mary sees, sympathising
With that world of good,
Nature’s motherhood.

Their magnifying of each its kind
With delight calls to mind
How she did in her stored
Magnify the Lord.

Well but there was more than this:
Spring’s universal bliss
Much, had much to say
To offering Mary May.

When drop-of-blood-and-foam-dapple
Bloom lights the orchard-apple
And thicket and thorp are merry
With silver-surfèd cherry

And azuring-over greybell makes
Wood banks and brakes wash wet like lakes
And magic cuckoocall
Caps, clears, and clinches all—

This ecstasy all through mothering earth
Tells Mary her mirth till Christ’s birth
To remember and exultation
In God who was her salvation.
