Bede the Venerable, on Luke 1:50

“And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.”

“Turning from God’s special gifts to His general dealings, she describes the condition of the whole human race, And his mercy is from generation to generation on them that fear him. As if she said, Not only for me hath He that is mighty done great things, but in every nation he that feareth God is accepted by Him.”
