Mother of Fairest Love
"I am the mother of fairest love, of fear, of knowledge, and of holy hope; being eternal, I am therefore given to all my children, to those who are named by him. I will again make instruction shine forth like the dawn, and I will make it shine afar; I will again pour out teaching like prophecy, and leave it all to future generations. Observe that I have not labored for myself alone, but for all who seek instruction."
Ecclesiasticus 24: 1 8-20, 32-34
Mother of Fairest Love: This title from the Latin Vulgate text of Sirach 24, has been used to honor the Mother of God since the 10th Century. This icon was created as a gift to my mother Marjory Hart McNichols.
