Ave Maria

"The Year of the Ransom," 22 May 1987.

Castelar prays:

"'Ave Maria gratiae plena -'" (p. 698)

(Should be "gratia plena -")

This is Latin for "Hail Mary, full of grace," a Catholic prayer, and also is yet another Biblical quotation: Luke 1:28.

In the morning, I say:

"We mediate on the lovely light of the god, Savitri: may it stimulate our thoughts!"
-Rig Veda.

Just a quick breakfast post, folks. (I might walk over to Morecambe to try to see Andrea.)

Addendum: Back from Morecambe, mission accomplished. Maybe "gratiae" looks grammatically correct? - but "gratia" is what is said.
