Joye IX
Prayer for the Joy of Cana
The speaker implores the Virgin Mary, recalling her joy at the wedding of Cana, to intercede with her Son for help, and closes with the Hail Mary prayer.
Virgin, pray that your dear Son may be inclined to help me, for that great joy you had at the wedding of Saint Architriclin, when he made wine from water by a divine means. Hail Mary.
Read the original Middle French
Vierge, pries qu'a moy aidier enclin Soit ton doulz filz, pour ycelle grant joye Qu'eus aux nopces de saint Archetheclin, Quant d'eaue vin fist par divine voye. Ave Maria.
