And the angel said to her, Fear not Mary, for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. Thus had Gabriel, the messenger of God, who is called "God's Strength", come to Mary. St. Peter reminds us of his declaration, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jeremiah prophesied a new covenant of the heart, which Jesus fulfilled. In loving memory of Thomas Johnston Hundley and Pela Hendrick Plummer.
