Rightly is 4 I | safe and secure, when the Lord is present with her; for 5 I | present with her; for the Lord, God the Father, the Son, 6 I | and her intimacy with Our Lord, she is told: The Lord is 7 I | Our Lord, she is told: The Lord is with thee; because of 8 II | ye hide counsel from the Lord." Woe, indeed, to those 9 II | Behold the handmaid of the Lord"? Because the woe of the 10 II | word, or deed, so that the Lord could truly say to her: " 11 II | who bring forth what the Lord said to some amongst them: " 12 II | the law of the most high Lord, and if you be born, you 13 II | Prophet saith: "Arise, O Lord, into Thy rest, Thou and 14 II | eternal darkness in hell the Lord has prepared for Mary eternal 15 II | delivered from every woe by our Lord Jesus Christ, her Son.~ 16 III | thou hast found with the Lord and hast merited to pour 17 III | we read in Exodus: "The Lord drew back upon them the 18 III | by the vehemence of the Lord's Passion, and how to the 19 III | illuminated by the presence of the Lord, according to that word 20 III | Thou lightest my lamp, O Lord, my God, enlighten my darkness." 21 III | enlighten my darkness." The Lord hath lit this lamp most 22 III | full of the glory of the Lord is his work" (XLII, 16.) 23 III | XLII, 16.) The work of the Lord is full of His glory; the 24 III | most excellent work of the Lord is Mary. This work, as it 25 III | full of the grace of the Lord in this world, is full of 26 III | full of the glory of the Lord in Heaven. Thus, therefore, 27 III | that the angels have their Lord and their Lady from among 28 III | that we may offer to the Lord, by those same hands, whatever 29 III | The rod of his power the Lord shall send forth." The rod 30 III | filially governed. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."~ 31 IV | Behold the handmaid of the Lord' " (I, 38.) O wonderful 32 IV | Behold the handmaid of the Lord." Well, therefore, doth 33 IV | Behold the handmaid of the Lord.' This is an example to 34 IV | come down and receive the Lord into his house. Woe, therefore, 35 IV | My soul doth magnify the Lord." The soul magnifies that 36 V | the Prophet saith: "The Lord hath prepared His throne 37 V | mind when he said to the Lord: "Thy odor hath roused in 38 V | grace and glory with the Lord, for as it is said in the 39 V | said in the Psalm: "The Lord will give grace and glory" ( 40 V | grace in the eyes of my lord" (Ruth II, 12.) "Ruth" is 41 V | the Psalm: "Great is the Lord and great is His strength" ( 42 V | Mary in the sight of the Lord, found this grace, that 43 V | whom Jeremias says: "The Lord hath created a new thing 44 V | planted in the house of the Lord, and fattened in spirit 45 V | praise the Mother of my Lord and God, by whose fecundity 46 V | Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.~ 47 VI | spirit of the fear of the Lord." On this flower was a great 48 VI | Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according 49 VI | spoke three times to the Lord.

This is a lesson to the 51 VI | hast found grace with the Lord, behold thou shalt conceive 52 VI | she sweetly brought up our Lord, she had God subject to 53 VI | grace with God, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.~ 54 VII | whom Jeremias saith: "The Lord hath created a new thing 55 VII | virtue, who encompassed Our Lord in her womb, clothed Him 56 VII | But alas! this Man, the Lord of hosts, had been very 57 VII | was illuminated by the Lord, and she was the illuminatrix 58 VII | Behold the handmaid of the Lord."

Of the fullness of this 61 VII | truly say: "The earth is the Lord's." By the earth is signified 62 VII | Psalmist: "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." 63 VII | most holy life of Mary. The Lord filled her with such riches 64 VII | gifts that it is said: "The Lord looked upon the earth, and 65 VII | pass through it; for the Lord God of Israel has entered 66 VII | of conjugal embrace; the Lord God came forth through her 67 VII | word of Isaias: "I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high 68 VII | throne of whose mind the Lord rested. O truly blessed 69 VII | I say, of her mind, the Lord was seated, and the house 70 VII | glory of fecundity." The Lord, therefore, sat on the throne 71 VII | Kings: "The glory of the Lord had filled the house of 72 VII | filled the house of the Lord" (VIII, II.) Then saith 73 VII | Then saith Solomon: "The Lord hath said that He would 74 VII | therefore, the house of the Lord, was filled with the glory 75 VII | thus to take hold of the Lord, as Isaias bears witness, 76 VII | Ecclesiasticus: "The work of the Lord is full of His glory" (XXIV, 77 VII | most wonderful work of the Lord is Mary, of whom it is said 78 VII | full of the glory of the Lord, because this glory shines 79 VII | glory as in Mary. For the Lord has through Mary glory because 80 VII | full of the glory of the Lord is His work, Mary, because, 81 VII | Ecclesiasticus: "The work of the Lord is full of His glory" (XXIV, 82 VII | most wonderful work of the Lord is Mary, of whom it is said 83 VII | full of the glory of the Lord, because this glory shines 84 VII | glory as in Mary. For the Lord has through Mary glory because 85 VII | full of the glory of the Lord is His work, Mary, because, 86 VII | eternal fullness. By Our Lord Jesus Christ, etc.~ 87 VIII | SHARES ALL GIFTS WITH THE LORD~"Ave Maria, gratia plena, 88 VIII | rightly said to her: "The Lord is with thee." But tell 89 VIII | person of Gabriel: "The Lord is with thee, but more than 90 VIII | but more than with me. The Lord is with thee, but not as 91 VIII | with me. For although the Lord is in me, the Lord hath 92 VIII | although the Lord is in me, the Lord hath created me; but by 93 VIII | created me; but by thee the Lord is to be born." The Lord, 94 VIII | Lord is to be born." The Lord, therefore, O Mary, but 95 VIII | but who, how great? The Lord of the earth and of all 96 VIII | all things in general, the Lord who is especially the Lord 97 VIII | Lord who is especially the Lord of mankind, the Lord who 98 VIII | the Lord of mankind, the Lord who is thine in a singular 99 VIII | singular manner, O Mary. The Lord, I say, of all creatures 100 VIII | creatures in general, the Lord in a special manner of rational 101 VIII | rational creatures, the Lord especially of thy virginal 102 VIII | consider, therefore, that this Lord, who is with thee, is in 103 VIII | thee, is in general the Lord of all creatures. Judith 104 VIII | creatures. Judith says: "The Lord of the heavens, the Creator 105 VIII | Creator of the waters, and the Lord of all creatures" (IX, 17.) 106 VIII | And the Wise Man: "The Lord of all things loved her" ( 107 VIII | VIII, 3.) Therefore, the Lord of all things universally, 108 VIII | invisible. This universal Lord of all things was in Mary 109 VIII | But lo! this universal Lord of all things is a most 110 VIII | things is a most powerful Lord, a most wise Lord, a most 111 VIII | powerful Lord, a most wise Lord, a most rich Lord, a most 112 VIII | most wise Lord, a most rich Lord, a most unfailing Lord. 113 VIII | rich Lord, a most unfailing Lord. A lord without power, without 114 VIII | a most unfailing Lord. A lord without power, without wisdom, 115 VIII | would be a most imperfect lord. A feeble lord, one needy 116 VIII | imperfect lord. A feeble lord, one needy and insipid, 117 VIII | little esteemed. But Our Lord is universal, most powerful, 118 VIII | note that the universal Lord, who is with Mary, is a 119 VIII | who is with Mary, is a Lord most powerful in will, and 120 VIII | Him: "All whatsoever the Lord hath willed, the Lord has 121 VIII | the Lord hath willed, the Lord has done, . . . even in 122 VIII | the will of so powerful a Lord, as Mardochai testifies, 123 VIII | Mardochai testifies, saying: "Lord King Almighty, in thy dominion 124 VIII | great, how powerful is the Lord who is with thee! And because 125 VIII | because He is a most powerful Lord, He is most powerfully with 126 VIII | darkness illuminated." The Lord, therefore, is with thee, 127 VIII | note that the universal Lord, who is with Mary, is a 128 VIII | who is with Mary, is a Lord most wise in truth. For 129 VIII | in truth. For He is the Lord, of whom it is said in the 130 VIII | the Psalm, "Great is our Lord, and great is His strength, 131 VIII | 5. ) Oh, how wise is the Lord, whose wisdom nothing can 132 VIII | desires, good and bad, the Lord knows. Whence St. Peter 133 VIII | Whence St. Peter says: "Lord, Thou knowest all things." 134 VIII | Behold, Mary, what kind of a Lord, what a most wise Lord, 135 VIII | a Lord, what a most wise Lord, is He who is with thee. 136 VIII | And because the most wise Lord is most wisely with thee, 137 VIII | knowledge are in Mary." The Lord, therefore, is with thee, 138 VIII | consider that the universal Lord, who is with Mary, is most 139 VIII | saying: "The earth is the Lord's, and all that dwell in 140 VIII | earth and its fullness the Lord's, but also the Heavens 141 VIII | their fullness. For Thine, O Lord, are the Heavens, and thine 142 VIII | heaven of heavens is the Lord's." Everything is the property 143 VIII | is the property of this Lord, Heaven and earth, bodies 144 VIII | heavenly glory, all is the Lord's own. Therefore, the Lord 145 VIII | Lord's own. Therefore, the Lord is most rich, as the Apostle 146 VIII | Apostle says: "He is the Lord of all, rich unto all that 147 VIII | And because the most rich lord is with thee so richly, 148 VIII | of the whole world!" The Lord is with thee, therefore, 149 VIII | consider that the universal Lord, who is with Mary, is the 150 VIII | with Mary, is the unfailing Lord of eternity. Whence we read 151 VIII | we read in Exodus: "The Lord will reign in eternity and 152 VIII | it is said: "But thou, O Lord, remainest for ever." Behold, 153 VIII | Behold, O Mary, how great a Lord, how unfailing a Lord is 154 VIII | a Lord, how unfailing a Lord is He who is with thee ! 155 VIII | say with truth: "Thou, O Lord, endurest for ever," but 156 VIII | sinners pardon forever." The Lord, therefore, is with thee, 157 VIII | Behold the most powerful Lord is with thee in such a manner 158 VIII | with Him. The most wise Lord is with thee in such a way 159 VIII | with Him. The most rich Lord is with thee in such wise 160 VIII | with Him. The never-failing Lord is with thee in such wise 161 IX | CHAPTER IX "THE LORD IS WITH THEE" ~We must now 162 IX | must now consider that this Lord, of whom it is said, "The 163 IX | of whom it is said, "The Lord is with thee," is in a special 164 IX | in a special manner the Lord of rational creatures, as 165 IX | in the eighth Psalm: "O Lord, our Lord," etc. He is the 166 IX | eighth Psalm: "O Lord, our Lord," etc. He is the Lord of 167 IX | our Lord," etc. He is the Lord of all men; He is especially 168 IX | men; He is especially our Lord. As it is said in Isaias: " 169 IX | is said in Isaias: "The Lord is our judge, the Lord is 170 IX | The Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord 171 IX | Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king" (Is. XXXIII, 172 IX | king" (Is. XXXIII, 22.) The Lord is our lawgiver in this 173 IX | lawgiver in this world; the Lord is our judge at the last 174 IX | at the last judgment; the Lord is our King who will crown 175 IX | Heaven. This particular Lord of ours was with Mary in 176 IX | thy Son." But behold, this Lord of ours is a most loving, 177 IX | most sure, a most renowned Lord. A Lord who was not loving 178 IX | a most renowned Lord. A Lord who was not loving in benefits, 179 IX | thought much of. But Our Lord is most loving in liberality; 180 IX | we must note that our own Lord, who is with Mary, is a 181 IX | with Mary, is a most loving Lord in His infinite mercy. For 182 IX | infinite mercy. For He is the Lord of whom the Prophet saith: " 183 IX | the Prophet saith: "Thou, Lord, art sweet and mild, and 184 IX | Ps. LXXXV, 5.) He is a Lord of much mercy in many temporal 185 IX | that to such a merciful Lord we were very grateful as 186 IX | the tender mercies of the Lord, the praise of the Lord 187 IX | Lord, the praise of the Lord for all the things that 188 IX | all the things that the Lord hath bestowed upon us" ( 189 IX | 7.) Behold, Mary, what a Lord He is, how loving, how merciful, 190 IX | loving, how merciful, the Lord who is with thee. And because 191 IX | because this most merciful Lord is so merciful with thee, 192 IX | we have a most merciful Lord, so have we a most merciful 193 IX | most merciful Lady. Our Lord is of much mercy to all 194 IX | found it wanting." The Lord, therefore, is with thee, 195 IX | note that our own special Lord, who is with Mary, is the 196 IX | with Mary, is the most just Lord of equity, as it is well 197 IX | said in the Psalms: "The Lord is just and hath loved justices" ( 198 IX | again: "Thou art just, O Lord, and Thy judgment is right" ( 199 IX | Ps. CXVIII, 137.) The Lord is most certainly just in 200 IX | said in the Psalms: "The Lord is just in all His ways" ( 201 IX | ways" (Ps. CXLIV, 17.) The Lord is so just in every path 202 IX | O Mary, what kind of a Lord He is, what a just Lord, 203 IX | Lord He is, what a just Lord, the Lord who is with thee ! 204 IX | is, what a just Lord, the Lord who is with thee ! And because 205 IX | with thee ! And because the Lord is most just with thee, 206 IX | the Sun of Justice?" The Lord is, therefore, with thee, 207 IX | note that our own special Lord, who is with Mary, is most 208 IX | testifies, saying: "The Lord is faithful in all His ways." 209 IX | and know that the faithful Lord will keep His words faithfully. 210 IX | Ezechiel testifies: "I the Lord have spoken, and I will 211 IX | 12.) The most faithful Lord will most faithfully keep 212 IX | O Mary, what kind of a Lord He is, what a faithful Lord 213 IX | Lord He is, what a faithful Lord He is, the Lord who is with 214 IX | faithful Lord He is, the Lord who is with thee! And because 215 IX | because the most faithful Lord is faithfully with thee, 216 IX | both men and women." The Lord, therefore, is with thee, 217 IX | Fourthly, note that our special Lord, who is with Mary, is the 218 IX | who is with Mary, is the Lord who is most renowned for 219 IX | is none like to Thee, O Lord, and great art Thou, and 220 IX | X, 6.) The name of the Lord is indeed of great fame 221 IX | praise ye the name of the Lord !" (Ps. CXLVIII, I 1-12.) 222 IX | says: "May the name of the Lord be blessed from henceforth, 223 IX | praise of the name of the Lord has not only extended to 224 IX | setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised" (Ps. CXII, 225 IX | Behold, O Mary, how great a Lord, what a renowned Lord, is 226 IX | a Lord, what a renowned Lord, is He who is with thee! 227 IX | is a renowned and famous Lord, who is with thee in so 228 IX | because she feared the Lord very much; neither was there 229 IX | reinstated by thee." The Lord is, therefore, with thee, 230 IX | Behold the most loving Lord is with thee in such a manner 231 IX | most loving. The most just Lord is so with thee that thou, 232 IX | just; the most renowned Lord is with thee in such a manner 233 X | SPOUSE, AND HANDMAID OF THE LORD ~We must now consider that 234 X | must now consider that this Lord, of whom it is said, "The 235 X | of whom it is said, "The Lord is with thee," is not alone 236 X | alone in a general sense the Lord of every creature, not alone 237 X | creature, not alone the Lord of the rational creature, 238 X | a most special sense the Lord of the virginal court of 239 X | in soul, the court of the Lord, the most holy house of 240 X | Sanctity behooveth Thy house, O Lord." O singularly blessed House, 241 X | so singularly to have the Lord. St. Bernard saith: "Thou 242 X | the King of kings and the Lord of lords, coming from His 243 X | sons of men." This singular Lord of Mary was with her in 244 X | manner the daughter of the Lord, the mother of the Lord, 245 X | Lord, the mother of the Lord, the spouse of the Lord, 246 X | Lord, the spouse of the Lord, and the handmaid of the 247 X | and the handmaid of the Lord. If we wish to describe 248 X | Person, we can say that the Lord who is with Mary is the 249 X | who is with Mary is the Lord and Father, the Lord and 250 X | the Lord and Father, the Lord and Son, the Lord and Holy 251 X | Father, the Lord and Son, the Lord and Holy Ghost, the Lord 252 X | Lord and Holy Ghost, the Lord who is triune and one. He 253 X | one. He is the Father and Lord, of whom Mary is the most 254 X | daughter. He is the Son and Lord, of whom Mary is the most 255 X | He is the Holy Ghost and Lord, of whom Mary is the most 256 X | most just spouse; He is the Lord Triune and One, of whom 257 X | therefore, note, that this Lord, who is so singularly with 258 X | singularly with Mary, is the Lord of whom Mary is the most 259 X | noble daughter. Of this Lord and of this daughter can 260 X | Blessed art thou of the Lord, my daughter, and thy latter 261 X | daughter blessed by the Lord; by the Most High Lord, 262 X | the Lord; by the Most High Lord, I say, whose daughter she 263 X | abundant affection." The Lord is with thee, therefore, 264 X | Secondly, note that the Lord who is so singularly with 265 X | singularly with Mary, is the Lord whose most worthy mother 266 X | worthy mother she is. Of this Lord and of this mother Elizabeth 267 X | me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" The 268 X | to me?" The Mother of the Lord, the Virgin and Mother, 269 X | Thirdly, note that this Lord who is so singularly with 270 X | singularly with Mary is the Lord whose most beautiful spouse 271 X | spouse Mary is. To this Lord, as to this spouse, we can 272 X | shalt know that I am the Lord" (Osee II, 19-20.) Behold 273 X | been said to thee by the; Lord" (Luke I, 45.) But behold 274 X | Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according 275 X | her for His Spouse?" The Lord is, therefore, with thee, 276 X | Fourthly, note that this Lord, who is so singularly with 277 X | singularly with Mary, is the Lord whose most devout handmaid 278 X | Behold the handmaid of the Lord." Mary is the handmaid of 279 X | is the handmaid of that Lord, when her son is the servant 280 X | son is the servant of this Lord, according to the human 281 X | Psalm, where He says: "O Lord, because I am thy servant, 282 X | despised her mistress; the Lord looked on this humble handmaid, 283 X | Christian soul, handmaid of the Lord, with Mary cultivate fecundity 284 X | says, "the handmaid of the Lord." St. Ambrose says: "See 285 X | herself the handmaid of the Lord, she who is chosen to be 286 X | to be the handmaid of the Lord, but also the handmaid of 287 X | handmaid of the servants of the Lord. For it is she who is signified 288 X | feet of the servants of my Lord" (I Kings XXV, 41.) By the 289 X | how many servants of the Lord have been washed, how many 290 X | compunction for their sins. The Lord is with thee, therefore, 291 X | sanctified thy womb. The Lord is, therefore, with thee," 292 X | therefore, with thee," the Lord, whose daughter thou art, 293 X | none is more noble; the Lord, whose mother thou art, 294 X | none is more wonderful; the Lord, whose spouse thou art, 295 X | none is more lovable; the Lord, whose handmaid thou art, 296 X | Lady, because so great a Lord is in such a manner and 297 XI | AURORA~"Dominus tecum"-The Lord is with thee. That devout 298 XI | by the grace by which the Lord wished so to be with thee, 299 XI | is expedient for me."~The Lord is with thee, O Mary. Certainly 300 XI | glorious than all kings, is Our Lord Jesus Christ. The aurora, 301 XI | shall treat in order.~"The Lord is with thee." With thee, 302 XI | propitiation, the day which the Lord hath made, was worthy to 303 XI | between two sides? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but 304 XI | Sun of justice, Christ Our Lord, by means of His aurora, 305 XI | therefore, if thou fearest the Lord, for it is written: "Who 306 XI | is that she received Our Lord spiritually; the second, 307 XI | which Mary received Our Lord spiritually, is her mind, 308 XI | rivers of water," because the Lord had nourished her on the 309 XI | wherein Mary received the Lord when she was about to dwell 310 XI | place of glory, of which the Lord said to Job: "Hast thou 311 XI | sinner." And therefore the Lord went before the children 312 XI | the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed 313 XI | always a handmaid to the Lord, as St. Augustine testifies: " 314 XI | as out of reverence for a Lord." It is needful for us, 315 XI | morning, the aurora. The Lord is with thee, O Mary, as 316 XI | the Sun of Justice, our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who 317 XII | AND A FLOWERING STEM~"The Lord is with thee." Having seen 318 XII | thee." Having seen how the Lord was with Mary, as the sun 319 XII | let us now see how the Lord is with Mary as the flower 320 XII | root, and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the 321 XII | spirit of the fear of the Lord" (Is. XI.) Let us place 322 XII | who hast brought forth the Lord, art of the land of Israel; 323 XII | on the throne, unto the Lord of Majesty, for thou castest 324 XII | piety, or the fear of the Lord." This flower has, as it 325 XII | Virgin Mary, behold, the Lord is truly with thee, as the 326 XII | produced it. Grant that the Lord may also be with me, yea, 327 XII | give to us this flower, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.~ 328 XIII | PALACE WITH THE KING~The Lord is with thee, O Lady most 329 XIII | O Lady most dear to the Lord, most intimate with the 330 XIII | most intimate with the Lord ! The Lord is with thee, 331 XIII | intimate with the Lord ! The Lord is with thee, O most well-fitted 332 XIII | Lady, most worthy of the Lord ! The Lord is with thee: 333 XIII | worthy of the Lord ! The Lord is with thee: with thee 334 XIII | Apocalypse: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!" And this 335 XIII | treasures of the mercies of the Lord. God forbid that thy hand 336 XIII | most sweet Virgin Mary, the Lord is truly with thee, as the 337 XIII | that the King of glory, Our Lord Jesus Christ, may stay with 338 XIV | special presence of Our Lord with her, she is saluted 339 XIV | saluted with the words "The Lord is with thee." Now we have 340 XIV | Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art 341 XIV | thou art blessed with the Lord. St. Bernard well says of 342 XIV | men, for angels, for the Lord! St. Bernard tells us how 343 XIV | said in Jeremias: "May the Lord bless thee, beauty of justice, 344 XIV | Heaven." Rightly did the Lord bless such beauty in Mary. 345 XIV | was said to Mary, "May the Lord bless thee, thou beauty 346 XIV | justice," but, "May the Lord curse thee, thou vileness 347 XIV | says: "Thou hast blessed, O Lord, thy land." That land is 348 XIV | Blessed, I say, by the Lord, by the Angel, by man. Because 349 XIV | is indeed blessed by the Lord, who is Himself her blessing; 350 XIV | Truly is Mary blessed by the Lord because of her Child, who 351 XIV | Kings, where we read: "The Lord blessed Obededom because 352 XIV | Christ, the Son of Mary, the Lord blessed the house of Mary. 353 XIV | her Child, not only by the Lord Himself being her blessing, 354 XIV | blessing. Gabriel says: "The Lord is with thee, blessed art 355 XIV | man, not an angel, but the Lord of men and angels. Therefore 356 XIV | her Child, not only by the Lord Himself being her blessing, 357 XIV | plentiful field, which the Lord hath blessed" (Gen. XXVII, 358 XIV | Blessed art thou by the Lord, because thy former mercy 359 XIV | Lady, so David typifies Our Lord. For David was offended 360 XIV | the fool Nabal, when the Lord was offended by guilty man. 361 XIV | the fool Nabal, when the Lord was appeased and reconciled 362 XIV | gifts; Mary appeased the Lord by her prayers and merits. 363 XIV | turn away the sword of the Lord by their own hand, as thou, 364 XIV | mercy from the hand of the Lord, our God." Likewise, Mary 365 XIV | midst of the earth, whom the Lord of hosts hath blessed, saying, ' 366 XIV | middle of the earth which the Lord blessed can be said to be 367 XIV | blessed because by her the Lord has been appeased towards 368 XIV | of whom it is said: "The Lord hath blessed thee in his 369 XIV | protection of the Mother of the Lord, in all the attacks and 370 XIV | Blessed is the glory of the Lord from its place." The glory 371 XIV | place." The glory of the Lord is the glorious Mother of 372 XIV | Paralipomenon: "Thou, O Lord, giving the blessing, it 373 XV | Mary, who brought forth the Lord to men, gave life to mortals, 374 XV | signified by Sara, of whom the Lord said: "I will bless her, 375 XV | Child. "From her," saith the Lord, "I will give thee a son, 376 XV | therefore also the hand of the Lord hath strengthened thee, 377 XV | divine blessing, through Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.~ 378 XVI | her it is said that the Lord is with her. We have now 379 XVI | the Prophet saith: "The Lord will give benignity, and 380 XVI | passage, Bede says: "The Lord gave benignity, because, 381 XVI | womb of King David, as the Lord had promised him, saying 382 XVI | There will be a bud of the Lord in magnificence and glory, 383 XVI | a full field, which the Lord hath blessed." Again, this 384 XVI | high in the eyes of the Lord, most lowly in her own; 385 XVI | Ecclesiasticus says: "The fear of the Lord is the crown of wisdom, 386 XVI | certainly, the fear of the Lord did fill this fruit, this 387 XVI | spirit of the fear of the Lord." Well is He called the 388 XVI | the inheritance of the Lord is sons, the fruit of the 389 XVI | this St. Jerome says: "The Lord Himself, born of the Virgin, 390 XVI | the fruit of thy works, O Lord: indeed, of Thine, not of 391 XVI | but of Thine.
