The two-line illuminated ''G'' begins ''Gaude...'' (Rejoice O Virgin Mary, thou only hast killed all heresies in the universal world. Thanks be to God. God shall help her with His countenance.
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved. God shall help her with His countenance. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. God shall help her with His countenance...). The two-line illuminated ''M'' begins: ''Mentes...'' (O Lord, we beseech thee, that the Comforter, Which proceeded from thee, may enlighten our minds, and lead us into all truth, even as thy Son hath promised unto us). The two-line illuminated ''C'' begins: ''Concede...'' (We beseech thee, O Lord, mercifully to assist our infirmity: that like as we do now commemorate Blessed Mary Ever-Virgin, Mother of God; so by the help of her intercession we may die to our former sins and rise again to newness of life). |
