Today is the preview of the good will of God, and the proclamation of the salvation of mankind: the Virgin appears clearly in the Temple of God, and Christ is foretold to all. To her, therefore, let us cry with mighty voices: Rejoice, O thou fulfillment of the Creator’s Providence!

 

The most pure Temple of the Savior; the precious Bridal Chamber and Virgin; the Sacred Treasure of the glory of God, is led today into the house of the Lord. With her she brings the Grace of the Divine Spirit, of her the angels of God sing in praise: Truly she is the tabernacle of heaven!
