Excerpt from the book Meditations on Christian Dogma, Volume I - The two great events of the beginning of St. Luke’s Gospel and the first two Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary are offered for our meditation today. The Annunciation where the Angel Gabriel comes to ask Mary’s fiat to be the mother of the Redeemer and the Word is made Flesh in her womb. In the second meditation our Mother, inspired by the Holy Ghost goes to her cousin Elizabeth so that Jesus within her womb can consecrate John the Baptist before his birth. What miraculous and wonderful events that show us the wonder of God’s salvific plan.
