Receiving The Word

Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis, exsultavit gaudio infans in utero meo: et beata quae credidisti.   Vides non dubitasse Mariam, sed credidisse; et ideo fructum fidei consecutam. Beata, inquit, quae credidisti. Sed et vos beati, qui audistis, et credidistis; quaecumque enim crediderit anima et concipit et generat Dei Verbum, et opera ejus agnoscit. Sit in singulis Mariae anima, ut magnificet Dominum: sit in singulis spiritus Mariae, ut exsultet in Deo. Si secundum carnem una mater est Christi; secundum fidem tamen omnium fructus est Christus. Omnis enim accipit Dei Verbum, si tamen immaculata et immunis a vitiis, intemerato castimoniam pudore custodiat. Sanctus Ambrosius Mediolanensis, Expositio Evangelii Secundum Lucam, Liber II

For behold the voice of your greeting in my ears, the child in my womb jumped for joy, and blessed you who have believed. 1 You see that Mary had not doubted but believed, and therefore the fruit of faith followed.  Blessed, she said,  you who have believed. But even you are blessed, you who have heard and have believed, for that soul which has believed conceives and generates the Word of God, and knows His works. May the soul of Mary be in each one of you so that it magnifies the Lord. May the spirit of Mary be in each one of you so that it exults in God. If according to the flesh one woman is the mother of Christ, Christ is the fruit of everyone according to faith. Everyone receives the word of God, if immaculate and cleansed from vice he guard his chastity undefiled from shame. Saint Ambrose, Commentary on the Gospel of Luke, Book 2 1 Lk. 1.44
