Hearing the shepherd angels singing the carnal coming of Christ, and, flowing as if to a Shepherd, they see Him like a blameless lamb, fallen in Mary’s womb, and singing: Rejoice, Lamb and Shepherd of the Mother; Rejoice, courtyard of verbal sheep. Rejoice, torment of invisible enemies; Rejoice, the doors of heaven are opening. Rejoice, as those in heaven rejoice in those on earth; Rejoice, for the earthly things rejoice in heavenly things. Rejoice, silent lips of the apostles; Rejoice, invincible boldness of the passion-bearers. Rejoice, firm affirmation of faith; Rejoice, bright knowledge of grace. Rejoice, even hell has been laid bare; Rejoice, You are clothed with Her glory. Rejoice, Unbrided Bride.
