Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

The third miracle is that the Holy Spirit so illumines Elisabeth through the sound of Mary's greeting that, although no one had heard it nor had anyone learned of it by their eyes and ears announcing it, and although no signs of conception of Mary were able to be seen yet, she recognizes the voice and testifies loudly that Mary is the mother of God and that the fruit of her womb is that blessed Seed and her Lord, that is, Immanuel, God and man. -- Gerhard, *Harmony* p. 123
