In Praise of St. Anne.

 

ST. ANNE SPEAKS TO HE DAUGHTER MARY.

“ Child of my heart’s blood,

Fairest Lily of all Israel,

Embraced by the Most High,

Rapturously pillowed on His Love,

Clothed in Glory from the first

Sacred Instant of your conception by the Power

Of the Spirit of charity! Mary, My Child!

Whence is it to me that the Mother of My

Lord Should come unto me.” Thus Anne spoke and

Joachim kept all these things pondering them.

In his heart. The days had been so long but at last

Heaven had listened and answered with Mary.
