Ave Maria

It all started last winter when I needed to put inspirational saintly images on the wall to help me through the challenges ahead, what the year was going to be like. I dug some images of Maria that my mom (whose name starts with Mary) brought me from Brazil years ago. At the same time, I had been listening to Clarissa Pinkola Estes "la loba" #wwrwtw audiobook. Her voice is haunting.

On the website there were other publications by her and one stood out, Strong Woman, got me very curious, it's what I wanted to be and become (well I have always been but I forgot). A book about the Virgin Mary!
I've listened a few times but still feel I need more, just like women will do to the wwrwtw book. I heard of a woman who said she listened to it every day for an entire year!

Later there were more reports of Mother Mary (some will be kept private) so I basically had her presence around all year, and I talked to her frequently,  recited her prayer mostly every night, and saw her pic on my door, constantly. Still there.

Then the year culminated with my having seen a neat Virgin Mary IG project that I attempted to jump in but failed again after 2 or 3 posts - I have trouble fitting these projects in, as my days are never predictable. But it did cause me to look up the various meanings related to her and her images (symbology).

Now, got the itch to research the "Ave Maria" song. I want to check different version of the song by country and language.

Let's start with the classic Schubert version in Latin.




Here's Spanish

Ave Maria
Madre de amor y de bondad
A lumbra mi alma se mi guia
Madre mia, de mi ten piedad
Solo tu podras mis pesares calmar
Mis pesares calmar
Amarte oh madre es mi consuelo
Amarte siempre y cada vez mas
Oh madre mia en el cielo
Alguna vez te quisiera mirar
Ave Maria
Madre de amor y de bondad
A lumbra mi alma se mi guia
Madre mia, de mi ten piedad
Solo tu podras mis pesares calmar
Mis pesares calmar
Ave Maria
