Thanks for the ping.

I was thinking, recently, about what a supreme gift life really is, and that that's what makes abortion so horrific. You were allowed to draw sweet Adamic breath, but you refused that gift to the child you created. May it truly be a pardonable sin, and be made manifestly so by the eternal fraternity of Gabriel.

To me, the Magnificat, and then following that, Elizabeth's greeting to Mary, represent the first two Psalms of the New Covenant.

Blessings, L.

Aye, St. Luke presents the story of Christ like a medieval bard, interspersed with glorious canticles climaxing with Simeon's Nunc Dimittis

He then does a similar construction in "Book II" (Acts) by again having the Holy Spirit overshadow the Twelve who have become the Body of Christ....Peter then quotes the song of Joel and through the Holy Spirit people of every race and tongue, language and nation are able to join in the song in praise of "the light of all nations."
