Virgin Mary, Love's Pure Light
THIS IS THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN

"There is no spot of sin in you, O my good friend!" Letaille
The caption on this card celebrates the Immaculate Conception in a way that is so natural and trusting; distilling the theological doctrine to it's essence, the artist delights in the goodness of God who has given to us this perfect friend.
IMMACULATA!
Mother of love, cover with your mantle my poor flower.
Oh, Mary conceived without sin,
have mercy on us who have recourse to thee.
Salve Regina..
Immaculata!
Fair as the moon, bright as the sun.
IMMACULATA
A reflection of your whiteness,
Mother, I would be.
MOTHER!
...I want to be your lily,
humble and pure...
...conserved among thorns
my whiteness...
Immaculata!
Fair as the moon, bright as the sun.
IMMACULATA
A reflection of your whiteness,
Mother, I would be.
MOTHER!
...I want to be your lily,
humble and pure...
...conserved among thorns
my whiteness...
