We see the Holy Virgin as a light-receiving candle, appearing to those who exist in the darkness: the immaterial one, burning fire, instructs all things to the Divine mind, enlightening the mind with the dawn, revered by the title, with these: Rejoice, ray of the intelligent Sun; Rejoice, luminary of the Unending Light. Rejoice, lightning, enlightening souls; Rejoice, like thunder, terrifying enemies. Rejoice, for you have shone with many lights of enlightenment; Rejoice, for you are a multi-flowing river. Rejoice, image-painting font; Rejoice, you who take away sinful filth. Rejoice, bath that washes the conscience; Rejoice, cup that draws joy. Rejoice, smelling the fragrance of Christ; Rejoice, belly of secret joy. Rejoice, Unbrided Bride.
