Subject: [TAC] Daily Excerpt for December 23 2006
Date: December 22, 2006 05:28 pm

Today's excerpt is from St. Ambrose:

"...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. The soul that has
been able to reach this state proclaims the greatness of the Lord just as
Mary did and rejoices in God its saviour just like her. The Lord’s
greatness is proclaimed, as you have read elsewhere, where it says Join me
in magnifying the Lord. This does not mean that anything can be added to
the Lord’s greatness by human words, but that he is magnified in us.
Christ is the image of God and so any good or religious act that a soul
performs magnifies that image of God in that soul, the God in whose
likeness the soul itself was made. And thus the soul itself has some share
in his greatness and is ennobled." (From commentary on St. Luke's Gospel
[Office of Readings])

God Bless.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

St. Gianna Beretta Molla, pray for us!
