SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Memorial B.V.M.
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nWhen Gabriel Appeared to Mary\,  \nfrom the Hymns on the Nativity\,  by St. Ephrem the Syrian.[1] \n  \nWhat indeed was the pure woman doing at the moment \nwhen Gabriel was sent down to her? \nShe saw him perhaps at the moment of prayer\, \nfor Daniel was also at prayer when he saw Gabriel\, \nfor prayer is next of kin to good tidings. \nIt is right that they should delight one another \nas Mary did Elizabeth\, her next of kin. \nThe dove bore good tidings for prayer. \nBy Abraham’s prayer good tidings proliferated. \nHezekiah’s prayer hastened and proclaimed \ngood tidings to him. \nThe centurion’s good tidings caused his prayers \nto be joyful. \nand on the roof terrace Simon was made joyful\, \nAnd Zechariah at the reward of his incense; \nhis good tidings came because of his incense. \nAll good tidings came to the harbor of petition; \nthis greatest of all good tidings\, \nthe cause of all rejoicing\, \nfound Mary at prayer and eagerly desired her. \nFor Gabriel\, inhabiting an honorable old man\, \nentered and greeted her so that she would not tremble\, \nso that the modest girl would not see \na youthful face and be sad. \nTo two pure old men and to a virgin girl\, \nto them alone Gabriel was sent with good tidings. \nIn the will their natures are similar \nand resemble one another.   – over – \nThe virgin and the barren woman and Daniel the faithful: \nOne brought forth the revelation of the word\, \nand the other a voice for the wilderness\, \nand the virgin the Word of the Most High. \nLest He bewilder the onlookers by His greatness\, \nHe drew Himself up from all the land of the Hebrews \nand from all Judah and all Bethlehem \nuntil He filled a small womb\, \nand as if he were a seed in our garden \nor a small flash of light for our pupil\, \nHe shone forth and diffused and filled the earth. \n  \n     [1]Ephrem the Syrian\, Paulist Press CWS\, l989. “Hymns on the Nativity\, Hymn 2” p.79-81
