extraordinary

"when St. Joseph finally accepted the view that his fiancee's pregnancy was due not to unchastity but to a miracle, he accepted the miracle as something contrary to the known order of nature. All records of miracles teach the same thing.... If they were not known to be contrary to the laws of nature how could they suggest the presence of the supernatural? How could they be surprising unless they were seen to be exceptions to the rules?... Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary." -C.S. Lewis

  1. So were you quoting a song or a movie? B/c I was definitely singing the song in my head when I saw it.

    Oh and I admire Joseph so much and his faith to walk out what he didn't fully understand.
