Holy Spirit above Gabriel

The Annuciation

Among the cards sent as Christmas Greetings is the National Gallery, London, reproduction. The Online version is closer-up. It is significant to see more clearly "the dove of the Holy Spirit above Gabriel (Luke 1:26-38).

I didn't plan to start the day with St Leo, and that is what I love about your blog and the e:mail.
Out of the blue there comes a wee reminder that God is ever present and waiting on our listening hearts.
Thanks.
