Dic nobis, Maria,  quid vidísti in via?

Sépulcrum Christi vivénti :

et glóriam vidi resurgéntis

Angélicos testes, sudárium, et véstes

Surréxit Christus spes mea :

 et præcédet vos in Galilæam.

Tell us Mary : say what thou didst see upon the way

The tomb the Living did enclose;

I saw Christ’s glory as he rose!

The angels there attesting;

Shroud with grave-clothes resting

Christ, my hope, has risen : 

he goes before you into Galilee.

The Grand Prior extends to you all his best wishes for all the blessing of the Risen Lord at this Easter time.
