OH, MY SON! OH, MY GOD!

Mary kept all these things

and pondered them in her heart.

IN SALUTEM MUNDI NATUS INFANS IESUS

Original engraving circa 1700

Here song becomes silent.
Resident birds seek branches
in the corners of the forest.
Here Nightingale amazes the birds
as, with the heavenly court,
its mouth pours forth the small measure.

It is good on His Heart!

Let us live holy lives that we may rest there one day.

Bouasse Lebel 936

Jesus, to Thee Be glory who is born of a Virgin.

Glory to God, and Peace to Men of Good Will

and moved forth from the roots her to climb.

I have without ceasing the vision of the Passion of my Son present in spirit,

and I never cease to unite my passion to His Passion.
