Meditation

Read Luke 1:26 -58. Thank God for Mary that she was willing to be the handmaiden of the Lord. Identify with her in terms of being asked by God to do something that seems impossible, could change your life and cause you to be the subject of great speculation. Can you say with her "Behold the handmaiden of the Lord"? Pray with Mary "The Magnificat" - Luke 1:46 -55.

History

Designed by Schoonover, this window was dedicated at the same time as The Presentation window and in memory of the same person. This is quite romantic in style, with flowing lines. Mary receives the news that she will become the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26 - 38). Lilies, birds, and a tree with apples signify fruitfulness. The rays descending on Mary's head are symbolic of the Holy Spirit emerging from the cloud to denote Heavenly origin.
