Jn 1:23 "I am the voice crying out in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord"
Im jus a nobody,Tryna to tell evr'body,All bout Smbdy Who saved m'soul

Why does the church call it the Sacrament of "Matrimony" and not the Sacrament of "Marriage"?

@SpencerAce13 @Evan83452919 @wmallen2024 This greeting of the angel is one clue into the unique character and calling of the Mother of God. Only Mary is given the name “full of grace,” and in the perfect tense, indicating that this permanent state of Mary was completed. She is the new ark of The Covenant.
@SpencerAce13 @Evan83452919 @wmallen2024 The names reveal smth permanent about the one named. Abraham and Sarah transition from being a “father” and “princess” of 1 family to being “father to all etc (see Rom. 4:1-18; Isa. 51:1-2). They become patriarch and matriarch of God’s ppl forever.
@SpencerAce13 @Evan83452919 @wmallen2024 According to biblical scholars, the angel did more than simply greet Mary. The angel actually communicated a new name or title to her.
