“Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.” – Luke 1:45 . “You see that Mary did not doubt but believed and therefore obtained the fruit of faith. “Blessed … are you who have believed.” But you also are blessed who have heard and believed. For a soul that has believed has both conceived and bears the Word of God and declares his works. Let the soul of Mary be in each of you, so that it magnifies the Lord. Let the spirit of Mary be in each of you, so that it rejoices in God. She is the one mother of Christ according to the flesh, yet Christ is the Fruit of all according to faith. Every soul receives the Word of God, provided that, undefiled and unstained by vices, it guards its purity with inviolate modesty.” – St. Ambrose #blessedisshewhobelieved #thefruitoffaith #merrychristmas #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
