El Evangelio de hoy nos presenta el pasaje de la anunciación de María. En el Antiguo Testamento hay muchas historias paarecidas a ésta anunciando elnacimiento de algún personaje importante.

A scan revealed blood clots in her lungs. People told her that she should feel lucky because a pulmonary embolism can be fatal. But instead of feeling lucky, she fell into a…
