And you carry on your chest, divine favor!, hanging the garment that gave us life.
Blessed is the moment in which God created you. Blessed was the hour that the world saw
you.
Blessed obedience and humble prayer, and purity and love linked in one.
Allow me, Lady, to go after you, following your steps to the temple of God.
