Illustrated Life of the Blessed Virgin (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Illustrated Life of the Blessed Virgin

In the Virginal womb of the humble maiden is conceived the Eternal, He whom the Whole universe cannot con tain. In the arms of an earthly mother, the Infinite lies a helpless babe. Yet He it is who, equal to the Father, supplies existence to all creation, Who by His omnipotence and authority stills the storms at sea, supplies to the mighty rivers their inexhaustible sources of water, and yet is content to be nourished with the scanty sustenance that His lowly Mother can supply. No human discourse can be found worthy and competent to describe the' glories of her from whom the Redeemer between God and man was pleased to assume His sacred body and blood.
