One Grain of Corn

Posted on Sunday, November 04, 2012 by Women of Grace Staff

“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

For Reflection:             

Consider St. Ambrose’s statement in light of November 3rd’s Graceline. 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.
