In the Gospel lesson this morning the angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will conceive and bear a child who will be holy. She replies in wonder, “How can this be, for I am a virgin?”
Mary has been the subject of myriads of paintings over the centuries as artists have pondered Mary’s gentleness, humility, and acceptance. She’s a wonderful subject.
