Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Sing of a girl in the ripening wheat should have been simple, given that it's sung to Scarborough Fair – but it was interesting to hear how many variants there were to this tune, with most of the congregation singing in the style of Simon and Garfunkel. At the last minute we changed the first line of the Magnificat from "My soul glorifies the Lord" to "My soul magnifies the Lord" in the light of Graeme's homily about how a magnifying glass helps us to see something which might not have been clear. After the final blessing we gathered at our Marian shrine for the parish anthem, Mary Immaculate, Star of the morning – and the roof was well and truly raised.
