Our shepherd,
the source of living water,
has departed.
At his passing the sun was darkened
for he who held the first man captive
is now taken captive himself.
Today the Saviour has shattered the bars
& burst the gates of death.

"God begot the Son,
through whom all things were made,
& Mary gave birth to him as the Saviour of the world.
Without God’s Son, nothing could exist;
without Mary’s Son, nothing could be redeemed." #StAnselm
