translation 1

Translation by the Holy Nativity Convent, Saxonburg, Pennsylvania[edit]
O Virgin Pure

Plagal First Tone (Tone 5)
Refrain: Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!

O Virgin pure, immaculate/ O Lady Theotokos
O Virgin Mother, Queen of all/ and fleece which is all dewy
More radiant than the rays of sun/ and higher than the heavens
Delight of virgin choruses/ superior to Angels.
Much brighter than the firmament/ and purer than the sun’s light
More holy than the multitude/ of all the heav’nly armies.
Rejoice, O Unwedded Bride!

Gregorian Chant by Monks of the Abbey of Notre Dame

hidden within the repetition of Holy Names…

The repetition of the Holy Names reveals a presence hidden within the heart.  Something begins to happen that’s very disturbing — we get happy.
