Blessed be, Oh, Mother, for this one was Thy child- Blessed his eyes that he saw Thy path and walked therein. Blessed his mouth that he praised Thee in the day and the night. Blessed his heart that it beat with the life which Thou gavest him. Blessed his loins which were fashioned to bring forth life in Thy honour and to Thy service. Blessed his feet which walked in Thy pathways. Reach forth Thy loving hand to draw him into Thy own fair place where he may rejoice in Thy beauty and wait until it is Thy wish that his essence embody again. Blessed be - in Thy name. Andre Norton, "Mooncalled"
