How Lovely Are the Messengers Felix Mendelssohn (from the oratorio St. Paul, Op. 36) (1809–1847)

How lovely are the messengers that preach us the gospel of peace. To all the nations is gone forth the sound of their words, throughout all the lands their glad tidings.

Chorale

Gaudeamus omnes in Domino

Let us all rejoice in the Lord, as we celebrate this feast day in honor of the Virgin Mary; her feast day causes the Angels to rejoice and to praise together the Son of God.

My heart overflows with a goodly theme; I address my works to the king.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Veni Creator Spiritus Chant

Creator-Spirit, all divine,Come, visit every soul of Thine,And fill with Thy celestial flame

The hearts which Thou Thyself didst frame.

O gift of God, Thine is the sweetConsoling name of Paraclete

And spring of life and fire of loveAnd unction flowing from above.

The mystic sevenfold gifts are Thine,Finger of God’s right hand divine;The Father’s promise sent to teach

The tongue a rich and heavenly speech.

Kindle with fire brought from aboveEach sense, and fill our hearts with love;And grant our flesh, so weak and frail,

The strength of Thine which cannot fail.

Drive far away our deadly foe,And grant us Thy true peace to know;

So we, led by Thy guidance still,May safely pass through every ill.

To us, through Thee, the grace be shownTo know the Father and the Son;And Spirit of Them both, may we

Forever rest our faith in Thee.

To God the Father glory beAnd to the Son who died for thee;

Them with the Paraclete adore;To God be glory evermore.

O Christ the Great Foundation

Postlude Organ Allabreve in D major (BWV 589) Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750)

The oil painting on the front cover is of the Virgin of Guadalupe

(Virgen de Guadalupe). The painting is signed and dated by the Mexican painter, Manuel Arellano, in 1691.

On December 9, 1531, a native Mexican named Juan Diego rose before dawn to walk fifteen miles to daily Mass in what is now Mexico City. Juan lived a simple life as a weaver, farmer, and laborer. That morning, as Juan passed Tepeyac Hill, he heard music and saw a glowing cloud encircled by a rainbow. A woman’s voice called him to the top of the hill. There he saw a beautiful young woman dressed like an Aztec princess. She said she was the Virgin Mary and asked Juan to tell the bishop to build a church on that site. She said, “I vividly desire that a church be built on this site, so that in it I can be present and give my love, compassion, help, and defense, for I am your most devoted mother . . . to hear your laments and to remedy all your miseries, pains, and sufferings.”

Bishop Juan de Zumárraga was kind, but skeptical. He asked Juan Diego to bring proof of the Lady’s identity. Before Juan could go back to the Lady, he found out his uncle was dying. Hurrying to get a priest, Juan missed his meeting with the Lady. The Lady, however, met him on his path and told him that his uncle had been cured. She then told Juan to climb to the top of the hill where they first met. Juan was shocked to find flowers growing in the frozen soil. He gathered them in his cloak and took them at once to Bishop Zumárraga.

Juan told the bishop what had happened and opened his cloak. The flowers that fell to the ground were Castilian roses (which were not grown in Mexico). But the bishop’s eyes were on the glowing image of the Lady imprinted on Juan’s cloak.

Soon after, a church was built on the site where our Lady appeared, and thousands converted to Christianity. Our Lady of Guadalupe was declared the patroness of the Americas.

The image on the cover is a brilliant example of one of the most reproduced and venerated images of the Christian world. The Virgin Mary is depicted in the center surrounded by rays of light, encased by a mandorla of delicately rendered flowers. The composition is punctuated with four roundels at each corner that show the various moments of her apparition story. The image imprinted on Saint Juan Diego’s cloak is the same icon venerated at the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, in Mexico City.
