.:{Beatae Mariae Virginis a Rosario}:.



Our Lady of Pompeii

For the first time ever, I'm going to get a jump on the blogging world and post a feast day early. Technically it's after sundown here in Rome, so I will post from the vigil of Our Lady of the Rosary (from my brand-spanking-new Dominican-rite Latin breviary -- grazie to Matt for telling me about Santa Sabina and for "a Roman seminarian" for taking me there today -- I would have gotten lost).

October 7th, feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
Ad I Vesperas
[Mysteria gaudiosa]
Caelestis aulae Nuntius,
arcana pandens Numinis,
plenam salutat gratia
Dei Parentem Virginem.

Virgo propinquam sanguine
matrem Ioannis visitat,
qui, clausus alvo, gestiens
adesse Christum nuntiat.

Verbum, quod ante saecula
e mente Patris prodiit,
e Matris alvo Virginis
mortalis infans nascitur.

Templo Puellis sistitur,
legique paret legifer;
hic se Redemptor, paupere
pretio redemptus, immolat.

Quem iam dolebat perditum
mox laeta Mater invenit,
ignota doctis mentibus
edisserentem Filium.

Sit Trinitati gloria,
quae sacra per mysteria
orantibus det gratiam,
qua consequantur gloriam.

Zadok: You know, Lauren, this is not normal to get so excited about Dominican things. I was beginning to think you were normal, but now you're getting to be like Matt.

Huzzah!
