THE CORONATION 323<br />

Mo<strong>the</strong>r, in whom I am well pleased, I give <strong>the</strong>e<br />

my royal word, that I shall look with especial clemency<br />

and fill with blessings all those who with devotion and<br />

humility call upon Me through thy intercession in that<br />

temple. In thy hands have I deposited and consigned<br />

all my treasures; as my Mo<strong>the</strong>r, who holds my place<br />

and power, thou canst signalize that place by depositing<br />

<strong>the</strong>rein thy riches and promising in it thy favors ;<br />

for all<br />

will be fulfilled according <strong>to</strong> thy will and pleasure.&quot;<br />

Again <strong>the</strong> most blessed Mary thanked her Son and God<br />

for this promise. Then, at <strong>the</strong> command of <strong>the</strong> Lord,<br />

a great number of <strong>the</strong> angels that accompanied Her<br />

formed a royal throne of a most resplendent cloud and<br />

placed Her <strong>the</strong>reon as <strong>the</strong> Queen and Mistress of all crea<br />

tion. Christ <strong>the</strong> Savior gave <strong>the</strong>m his blessing and as<br />

cended with <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> angels <strong>to</strong> heaven. The purest<br />

Mo<strong>the</strong>r, borne by <strong>the</strong> hands of <strong>the</strong> seraphim and accom<br />

panied by her thousand angels and <strong>the</strong> rest, departed<br />

body and soul for Saragossa in Spain. Although this<br />

journey could have been made in <strong>the</strong> shortest moment<br />

of time, <strong>the</strong> Lord ordered <strong>the</strong> angels <strong>to</strong> move along<br />

singing hymns of praise and jubilee <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir Queen in<br />

choirs of sweetest harmony.<br />

350. Some of <strong>the</strong>m sang <strong>the</strong> &quot;Ave Maria,&quot; o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

<strong>the</strong> &quot;Salve sancta Parens&quot; and &quot;Salve<br />

Regina&quot;;<br />

o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

<strong>the</strong> &quot;Regina coeli laetare,&quot; etc., choir answering choir<br />

in such harmony and concord of sounds, as no human<br />

art could ever attain. The great lady also, with a heart<br />

as humble as this favor was exalted, opportunely re<br />

sponded, referring all this glory <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Most High. She<br />

repeated many times : &quot;Holy, holy, holy, Lord God<br />

Sabaoth (Is. 6, 3), have pity on <strong>the</strong> poor children of<br />

Eve. Thine is <strong>the</strong> glory, thine <strong>the</strong> power and majesty.<br />

Thou alone art holy, <strong>the</strong> most High and <strong>the</strong> Lord of<br />
