17. What a procession shall that be, what joy of applauding angels when she is found worthy of dwelling in heaven who lived on earth a heavenly life! Then too Mary, taking her timbrel, shall stir up the choirs of virgins, singing to the Lord because they have passed through the sea of this world without suffering from the waves of this world. Then each shall rejoice, saying: “I will go to the altar of God; to God Who maketh my youth glad;” and, “I will offer unto God thanksgiving, and pay my vows unto the Most High.”
Ps. xliii. [xlii.] 4.
