St. John Henry Newman - On the Annunciation | Catholic Culture Audiobooks

“How, and when, did Mary take part—and the initial part—in the world's restoration? It was when the Angel Gabriel came to her to announce to her the great dignity which was to be her portion.”

This is a selection from a larger work by Newman, published posthumously as Meditations and Devotions. In the first part of the book, Newman meditates on the Litany of Loreto. His meditations are divided into four categories: On the Immaculate Conception, On the Annunciation, On Our Lady’s Dolors, and On the Assumption.

Here are Newman’s meditations on the titles of Mary most closely associated with the Annunciation: Queen of Angels, Mirror of Justice, Seat of Wisdom, Gate of Heaven, Mother of the Creator, Mother of Christ, and Mother of our Savior.
