<p> Salve | <p> Salve Regina </p> <p> "Jesu, hail! supremely Good, On the branches of the Rood, How thy limbs, all anguish-worn, [[Bitterly]] were scorched and torn, [[Thou]] that but too gracious art!" (B.P.) (Hail, O Queen, i.e. [[Virgin]] Mary) is the name of an antiphony long in use in the [[Roman]] [[Catholic]] Church. Composer and date are unknown, though it is attributed to either Peter, bishop of [[Compostella]] in the 10th century, or to Hermannus Contractus, a Benedictine, in the 11th. The Chronicles of [[Spires]] state that St. Bernard, when at Spires in the capacity of apostolical delegate, added the closing words, "O clemens, O pia, O dulcis [[Virgo]] Maria!" by which it received its present form (Chronic. de Urbe Spirensi, lib. 12). [[Pope]] [[Gregory]] directed, in 1239, that it be recited in the daily offices after the completorium (q.v.). In modern usage, it is employed during the interval between [[Trinity]] and [[Advent]] Sundays; and it also forms a part of the usual private devotions of believers, especially on Saturdays. In many dioceses the ritual in use directs the recitation of the Salve Regina at funerals, after the burial service, with a view to supplicate the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin for the souls in purgatory. St. [[Bernard]] discusses the subject matter of this antiphony in his works, laying special emphasis on the mercy and power of [[Mary]] as here set forth (Opera [Antw. 1616], p. 1756, s.v.). </p> | ||
