I waited patiently for the Lord,
and He heeded me; and He
heard my Supplication.
After Thou had worshipped in the
Holy Land with rejoicing,
therein also Thou received the
Salvific Means for Thy Road to
Excellence. And Thou ran
earnestly the fine Way of
Virtue. Having crossed the
Jordan River’s stream,
unhesitatingly Thou began Thy
residence in that place where
John the Baptist lived before.
And by Thy Ascetical Way of
Life, Thou subdued the
passions’ ferociousness with
confidence, O Saint, and carnal
throbbing Thou minimised, O
Mother Ever Memorable!
And He established my feet on a
Rock and kept my steps
straight.
in the wilderness, Thou
blotted out every image of the
passions from Thy soul, having
in their place instead printed
on Thy soul the sublime
Godlike form of the Holy
Virtues. And Thou shone forth
to such an extent that Thou
were able to fly across the
waters, O Blessed One, and
levitate above the ground when
Thou raised Thy hands up to
God in Prayer. Now, O Blessed
Mother, All Glorious St Mary:
as Thou stand before the
Master with confidence,
importunely pray for us.
