Mother of God...
Most beautiful and sweetest,
how much God rejoiced in you,
when he placed in you
the warmth of his embrace,
so that his Son
would be nourished by you!
Now the whole Church
should rejoice in joy
and sound in harmony
for the sweetest Virgin,
praiseworthy Mary,
Mother of God!
Amen.
(Hildegard of Bingen /1098–1179/, excerpt from the hymn Ave generosa,
translation Miroslav Zvelebil)
