Our Morning Offering – 5 August – “Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary” – Wednesday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time and the Memorial of the Dedication of Mary Major
Concórdi lætítia
Harmonious Joy
Sounds of joy have put to flight
All the sadness of the night.
Now a Maid beyond compare
Hears her praises fill the air:
Virgo María.
Who is she whom angels sing,
Making all creation ring?
She it is who wins our priase,
As on earth our voice we raise:
Virgo María.
Queen of virgins, Maiden mild,
Hear me, take me for your child.
Ever my protector be,
Bring eternal life to me:
Virgo María.
Mighty Godhead, Three in One,
While eternal ages run,
Look to Mary, full of grace,
And forgive the human race:
Virgo María.
Amen

What is it she holds in her left hand?

Hi Hughie, I don’t know – I do know that there were 2 items given her – one was a basket and the other, I can’t remember, although those are lose items and obviously not in the actual painting.
The painting (by carbon dating) is known to be about 2000 years old and is believed to have been painted by St John!
You have aroused by curiosity – I will try to find out.
Thanks Hughie 😘🙏
