A great feast in honor of Our Lady,
Bearer of the Giver of Life-giving Water;
Mother of the Fountain of Mercy;
Ark of the Healer of fallen mankind.
She who is Perfected in Grace.
Like the Archangel sent to her,
we are awed by the beauty
of our tainted nature's
solitary boast...
Awed by the beauty of thy virginity
and the exceeding radiance of thy purity,
Gabriel called out unto thee, O Theotokos:
What worthy hymn of praise can I offer unto thee?
And what shall I name thee?
I am in doubt and stand in awe.
Wherefore as commanded, I cry to thee:
Rejoice, O Full of Grace.
We pray today especially for all those who suffer with illness...
And St Catherine's honors today with a symposium.
