THE TRANSFIGURATION OVERTURE / by Joe Castorino

O sweet Lady of Sorrows,

I offer you the myrrh of my bitter suffering:

Please place my little offering at the foot

Of the holy cross, that Our Blessed Lord’s

Precious blood may trickle down upon it,

Triumphantly transfiguring it

Into something very, very good,

Into something very, very true,

Into something very, very beautiful.

Amen.
