The image above does not depict Mary and Jesus.
The subjects here are Mary and St. Anne, her mother.
Today the Church celebrates Mary, immaculately conceived
in the womb of her mother, Anne.
Today's Pause for Prayer includes this incredibly beautiful piece,
perfectly performed by Chanticleer.
Chanticleer sings Biebl's Ave Maria.
This version of Ave Maria come from a modern German composer,
Franz Biebl (1906-2001).
Written in 1964, this is Beibl's most well known composition.
Biebl intersperses some chant verses with the familiar text of the Ave.
The piece is introduced with:
Angelus Domini, nuntiavit Mariae,
et concepit de Spiritu Sancto.
The angel of the Lord declared unto MaryAve Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum;
and she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
benedicta tu in mulieribus
et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you;The second interpolation is:
blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Maria dixit, ecce ancilla Domini,
fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.
Mary said: behold the servant of the Lord,Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum;
let it be done to me according to your word.
benedicta tu in mulieribus
et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesu.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you;The third gloss on the Ave text is:
blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Et verbum caro factum est,
et habitavit in nobis.
And the word became fleshAve Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum;
and dwelled among us.
benedicta tu in mulieribus
et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesu.
Sancta Maria, mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you;
blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us, sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
