“The Blessed Virgin Mary
wrapped the Word of the Father
in humble bands to
teach us
that the Divine Word
should be clothed by preachers
in simple language
rather
than in rhetorical finery.”

“Hail, Saviour of the world,
the Father’s Word —
true victim, living flesh,
wholly God, truly man.
Ingrafted in you,
may we be worthily offered
in your Majesty’s divine temple.
Brought near to the Body
at the Father’s right hand,
may we one day
share your eternity,
have fellowship in your bliss,
and be incarnate
in your Incarnation,
for yours is all honour and glory
for ever and ever. Amen.”
