Madonna and Child
Hans Zatzka
BE JOYFUL, MARY
Be joyful, Mary, heav'nly queen, Alleluia!
Your son who died was living seen, Alleluiia! Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
The son you bore by heaven's grace, Alleluia!
Did all our guilt and sin efface, Alleluia! Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
The Lord has risen from the dead, Alleluia!
He rose in glory as he said, Alleluia! Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
O pray to God, O Virgin fair, Alleluia!
That he our souls to heaven bear, Alleluia! Rejoice, rejoice, O Mary!
based on the 12th Century "Regina Caeli"
Weren't you going to make a rosary to match that picture? Or was it a more teal blue? I don't recall ever seeing one... :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember making that comment, but then I have a terrible memory. Or was this a hint?
DeleteI believe you posted it on FB and that was the conversation that followed. Maybe you weren't serious about doing it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I was serious, at the time -- but that's how my memory works -- I forget about as quickly as I come up with it. I wonder what I had in mind? I frequently have an entire rosary plotted out, order the parts, and by the time they arrive (which could be two weeks), I've forgotten what it was I wanted to do with them. I've learned to write down my ideas.
