"In an instant the Holy Spirit
overshadows her,
making her a living ciborium
privileged to bear within herself
for nine months
the Guest who is the Host of the
world."
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

ReplyDeleteAnonymous - So glad the picture and words are meaningful to you. We are so blessed to have all these men and women have such words to inspire us.
Anonymous in CA - If I may answer your question for John....He gets them from his fantastic knowledge of languages and his generous spirit to share with us. We are all blessed by his help.
John K - Love your love of colors. Do you also enjoy the Disney song "Colors of the Wind?" One of my favorites.
Thank you, Micki and Anonymous in Ca.
ReplyDeleteSometimes (as in the case of this Latin) I know what all the words mean. In most cases, I know what some of the words mean, but have to look up the others. In some cases, I don't know what any of the words mean, so I have to work extra hard -- but it is always a pleasure!
