It is in the city of Nazareth the angel Gabriel was sent from God, but who was he sent? "To a virgin who was betrothed to a man named Joseph. "What is this
Virgin what so venerable should be welcomed by an angel? And so humble that it has a craftsman for a husband? What a beautiful blend of humility than with virginity. The soul, argued that humility in which virginity and virginity takes a fresh gloss on humility, particularly pleases God. But what respects do seem worthy point that at which fertility exalts the humble and devoted motherhood virginity?
You hear a virgin a virgin and humble, so if you can not imitate the virginity of this humble virgin, imitate her humility at least. Her virginity is worthy of All praise, but humility is much more necessary that virginity and if one is recommended, the other is prescribed, and if you are asked to keep one, you made a point to practice another. Speaking of virginity, it just says "Let those who can reach there reach (Mt. XIX, 12). "But what is humility, here in what terms it is spoken. "Unless you become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven (Matt. XVIII, 3). Thus one is the subject of a reward and the other from a precept. It can be saved without the virginity is not without humility would be. | | | |
