Fr. Eric Nicolai preaches at Lancemore Centre on May 22, 2023. St. Augustine speaks about the overshadowing of Mary: At that moment, the Holy Spirit, who had already possessed Mary’s soul from the first moment of her Immaculate Conception, came upon her with such exceptional plenitude that He formed within her the sacred Body of Jesus. Justly, therefore, does Mary deserve the name of Spouse of the Holy Spirit: she is His possession, His sanctuary, His temple.
