Aluminum Foil Penny Boat

If, for a supposed, at some time ...


... of his life, all sprinkled with events to arouse pride in every creature, she had a moment of pride, the compartment would be the spotless, Full of Grace and Mother of God .
Neither more nor less than any created by the fallen would be beautiful and natural ...


***



" My soul magnifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
he has regarded the lowliness of his servant .
Henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
has done great things for me in the Almighty
and holy is His name:
from generation to generation
His mercy extends to those who fear him.


He has shown strength with his arm,
has scattered the proud in their conceit;
has put down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble
;
it's filled with good things hungry,
has sent the rich away empty.

He has helped his servant Israel, remembering his mercy
,
as promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his descendants, forever
" .




The meaning of these words is certainly the first to recognize the gifts that God has given to her, Mary, in particular, but she points out the benefits of universal which God continues to surround the human race.
soul glorifies the Lord when he devotes all his inner strength to praise and serve God; when, with his submission to the divine precepts, shows not to lose sight of His power and His majesty.

spirit rejoices in God her Savior when he puts all his joy in remembering the Creator from whom it hopes the eternal salvation.

probably these words express exactly what they think all the saints, but was particularly appropriate that they were spoken by Blessed Mother of God that, filled with a unique privilege, burned with a spiritual love everything by him that she had had the joy of conceiving in his flesh.
She good reason, and most of all the saints, to exult with joy in Jesus - that is to say in his Savior - because He knew that she recognized as the 'eternal author of our salvation , would, over time, born from his flesh, and so real and authentic in one person were actually present for his son and his God ...
