Concerning the visitation
of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Elizabeth. In honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary
and St. Elizabeth; and in honour of the Word and John the Baptist as babe.
O happy day!
The meeting of the wombs.
When summit of old
Met summit of new.
O happy day!
The meeting of the wombs.
When darkened face was
Visited by kissing dawn.
O happy day!
The meeting of the wombs.
When God’s-slave mothers
Set free by God’s Mother.
O happy day!
The meeting of the wombs.
When shadow cave was
Flooded with valley's grace.
O happy day!
The meeting of the wombs.
When babe John leapt
In hiding Babes Presence.
O happy day!
The meeting of the wombs.
When every babe leapt
With joy of Salvation.
O happy day!
The meeting of the babes.
O happy day!
The meeting of the wombs.
O happy day!
On the Feast of the Visitation, 30th May 2014
