“Although in the most pure womb of Mary there was but one grain of corn, which was Jesus Christ, yet it is called a heap of wheat because all the elect were virtually contained in it.”
-St. Ambrose
Today's Reflection
Consider St. Ambrose’s statement. By virtue of her conception of Jesus Christ, explain how you were, in a sense, “spiritually conceived in Mary” at the moment of the Annunciation? (For more insight, meditate on Eph. 1:4.) What is your interior response to this reality? Journal your insights.
