Mystical Rose

I love the title of Mary, Mystical Rose. 

 At this website I found the really lovely old poem which I borrowed for this post

Poem to the Virgin Mary: Mystical Rose with Prayer 

Mystical Rose

THERE is no rose of such virtue 

As is the rose that bear Jesu: 

Alleluia.

For in this rose containéd was 

Heaven and earth in little space: 

Res Miranda.

By that rose we may well see 

There be one God in Persons Three: 

Pares forma.

The angels sang, the shepherds too: 

Gloria in Excelsis Deo: 

Gaudeamus.

Leave we all this worldly mirth 

And follow we this joyful birth: 

Transeamus.

By an unknown Medieval Author

Res Miranda, thing to be marvelled at. Pares forma, equal in nature. Gaudeamus, let us rejoice. Transeamus, let us go hence.

Did I mention I love poetry?  Did I mention I love Jesus' Mom?

I am really thankful that she was such a great Mother.
