Visitation Tapesty in Cloisters.
"Therefore it is an excellent and fruitful custom of holy Church that we should sing Mary’s hymn at the time of evening prayer. By meditating upon the incarnation, our devotion is kindled, and by remembering the example of God’s Mother, we are encouraged to lead a life of virtue. Such virtues are best achieved in the evening. We are weary after the day’s work and worn out by our distractions. The time for rest is near, and our minds are ready for contemplation." – St Bede the Venerable from the Office of Readings for today's Feast of the Visitation. My sermon for today can be read here. Part of a medieval tapestry in the Cloisters Musuem, NYC.
