Verily, the fervid tears of Mary were not

shed in vain; for behold she was worthy to learn from the Angels, and to look at Thy Face, O Jesus. But since she was a weak human being, she still thought of earthly things. Therefore, she was prevented from touching Thee, O Christ. However she was sent to proclaim to Thy Disciples, and to tell them the Glad Tidings and of the Ascension to the Heavenly Heritage. Like her, then, make us worthy of Thine Appearance, O Lord.
