My little brother got the ball rolling on a family reunion this summer. Just ran across the pictures. Good job, Raphael!

| The devil tempts that he may ruin; God tests that he may crown.— St. Ambrose |
Here are some verses from this profound hymn by St. Ambrose: Source, The Catholic Company
Come, Thou Redeemer of the earth,
And manifest Thy virgin birth:
Let every age adoring fall;
Such birth befits the God of all…
The virgin womb that burden gained
With virgin honor all unstained;
The banners there of virtue glow;
God in His temple dwells below.
Forth from His chamber goeth He,
That royal home of purity,
A giant in twofold substance one,
Rejoicing now His course to run.
O equal to the Father, Thou!
Gird on Thy fleshly mantle now;
The weakness of our mortal state
With deathless might invigorate…
O Jesu, Virgin-born, to Thee
Eternal praise and glory be,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Spirit, evermore.
A balmy 48 degrees, so we filled part of the bin.
