March 15 reading, Saint Louise de Marillac

[Mary Ellen]

An excerpt from the Epistle for March 15, Saint Louise de Marillac was Isa. 58

"When thou shalt pour out thy soul to the hungry, and shalt satisfy the afflicted soul, then shalt thy light rise up in darkness, and thy darkness shall be as the noon-day.  And the Lord shall give thee rest continually, and will fill thy soul with brightness, and deliver thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a fountain of water whose waters shall not fail"

[Mary Ellen]

Most beautiful lyrics of an ancient hymn in honor of the Assumption of Mary.

Here is  some of the verses:

Rejoice O Spirits and Angels on high,

This day the pure Mother of Love

By death was set free and ascended the sky...

O Virgin divine,

What treasures are thine,

what power and splendor untold,

with flesh thou has clothed the Lord of all might,

He clothes thee in turn with his Infinite Light...
