Ave Maria Meditations
The story of love that is Jesus’s life on earth contains unfathomable and divine wealth. That infinite love took on all forms in order to set hearts on fire and ferry them to the eternal abode of love. It took the form of an extra ordinary miracle in Mary’s womb, a heavenly smile in Bethlehem, a deep silence in Nazareth, a struggle in the desert, a light of life and profligacy of mercy in Tiberius, a glory on Tabor, a tenderness in the Cenacle, and agony in Gethsemane, and the pain, ignominy, and death on Calvary. Love is thus always one and manifold: it is immutable in its essence and prodigiously dynamic in its activity.
The Servant of God, Archbishop Luis Maria Martinez
