Have you heard of the word ‘xenotransplantation’? It means ‘the process of grafting or transplanting organs or tissues between members of different species.’ It made the news this week when a 57-year-old man from Baltimore underwent a seven-hour experimental procedure and became the first man in the world to get a heart transplant from a genetically modified pig.

‘I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.’ (Galatians 2:20 NIV)
Chris Eaton’s song Breath of Heaven tells the story of the Nativity from Mary’s perspective, portraying her as a frightened young girl, attempting to deal with the circumstances of giving birth to the Son of God.
In her vulnerability and despite her human doubts, Mary’s faith in the goodness and mercy of God remain and help her deal with this unique situation.
