wonders, when the barren bore a son, the virgin conceived, the dumb
spake, the wise men worshipped, Simeon waited, the stars gave

unmoved by the miracles. “Mary,” it is said,
“kept all these things in her heart.” S. Luke ii. 19. Though she was the mother of the
Lord, yet she desired to learn the precepts of the Lord, and she who
brought forth God, yet desired to know God.
