"Immaculate Mary! Our hearts are on fire..."

"...the title so wondrous, fills all our desire."

"Ye who own the faith of Jesus..."

"...sing the wonders that were done..."
"How did I lose my hymn sheet?"

"...when the love of God the Father..."

"...over sin the victory won..."

The congregation passes by the Lady Shrine after the station.

The procession returns to the high altar.

The altar lights are ready for benediction.

"Praise, O Mary, praise the Father, praise thy Savior and thy Son,
praise the everlasting Spirit, who hath made thee ark and throne..."

The Host is exposed in the montrance.

"O Saving Victim, opening wide, the gate of heaven to man below..."

Benediction.
