MADELEINE L’ENGLE
QUOTES FROM THE GLORIOUS IMPOSSIBLE


Possible things are easy to believe.  The Glorious Impossibles are what bring joy to our hearts, hope to our lives, songs to our lips.
In Scripture, whenever an angel appears to anyone, the angel’s first words are,  “FEAR NOT!”—–which gives us an idea of what angels might have looked like
A fourteen-year-old girl was visited by an archangel and was told she was going to have a baby, a remarkable baby who would be called the Son of the Highest, the Son of God.
Joseph first elected to put Mary away quietly when he could have had her stoned.  Then he, too, was visited by an angel and believed Mary’s story–a Glorious Impossible .

Mary left for the hill country to seek the understanding of Elizabeth.  The babe she was bearing, leaped in his womb as Mary approached Elizabeth….another Glorious Impossible
look for more tomorrow
