The Reverend Mother talked of Benediction. If she were in Rome she would be in church singing the Ora pro nobis. "Let us sing it now. Shall we?" she said.
Joseph, and the Christ, yes, by all means if you choose to call them so, but essentially, Mamma, Papa, and the Baby. And all Italy threw up its cap, "Ora ha Giotto il grido."
