Proclaim the Greatness of the Lord
“Blessed are you who have believed, because what has been promised to you by the Lord will be fulfilled.” And Mary said, “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.”
Luke 1:45-46
“You too, my people, are blessed, you who have heard and who believe. Every soul that believes — that soul both conceives and gives birth to the Word of God and recognises His works.
Let the soul of Mary be in each one of you, to proclaim the greatness of the Lord. Let the spirit of Mary be in each one of you, to rejoice in God. According to the flesh only one woman can be the mother of Christ but in the world of faith Christ is the fruit of all of us. For every soul can receive the Word of God if only it is pure and preserves itself in chastity and modesty.”
