When we use the word “and” we usually do so to refer to two different things, ideas or situations; not so when speaking of God. With God each distinctive attribute is the same because God is each; there is no separation. His love is His mercy, His mercy is His compassion, His Son is His Spirit. Brothers and sisters let there be no separation among us; all are children in the House of God.
In wonderment, at the annunciation, Mary held these things in her heart.
The wisdom of our hearts tells us, the greatest gift is creation; without it there is nothing at all. Each of us is unique in body and soul. The body’s greatest gift is the soul. It is ours to nourish and protect as we navigate this world of strife and temptation. Our connection to the divine is the triune body, the mother the father and the kiss of Christ which is our soul and the reflection of the triune God.
