“Death before Dishonour”
Pursued by a hunter who encircles it with mud, the ermine chooses to surrender its life rather than soil its coat. Upright souls act likewise when they prefer death rather than wallowing in the mire of sin.
Hymn of Wisdom, Humility and Grandeur
The promise made to Abraham was fulfilled: Our Lady carried in her womb the Expectation of the Nations. Inspired by the Most High, She composes this marvellous hymn, an inestimable jewel of God’s praises.
“Do not be unbelieving, but believe”
