In sentiments of unfeigned spiritual joy should we spend this holy day. This day which the Lord has made; as the Church sings throughout the Divine Office. After having, during previous days, grieved over the suffering LORD JESUS CHRIST, in equal measure should we now rejoice over his triumph; after compassionating his most afflicted Mother, let us in equal degree, share in the pure joy inundating her soul when her Divine Son risen and glorified, appeared to her.
