One Grain of Corn

“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.
