Word of God Wednesday: Fourth Sunday of Advent

“Blessed art thou among women”: What is Elizabeth saying? The preposition among indicates the superlative degree. Mary is the “most blessed” of all women because she was chosen by God since the beginning (Genesis 3:15, protoevangelium) as “the woman,” the vessel whose seed would bring salvation to the world. Deacon Harold opens the topic today for Word of God Wednesday and looking into Soulful Psalm 80.
