THE JOY OF MARY

“She sees the body of her Son, resurrected and glorious, all past ugliness now gone, the grace of those divine eyes restored, and his former beauty resurrected and increased. (...) He whom she held dead in her arms, she now sees resurrected before her eyes. She holds him, she does not let him go, she embraces him and begs him not to leave her; then, speechless with grief, she knew not what to say; now, speechless with joy, she cannot speak.”

Fr. Luis de Granada
