The Incarnation - Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with Thee

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth,
27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28 And he came to her and said, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you."
29 But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
30 The angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David.
33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."
34 Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?"
35 The angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.
36 And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren.
37 For nothing will be impossible with God."
38 Then Mary said, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her.

Inspiration of the Holy Spirit - From the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Right from the very beginning of creation, the Holy Trinity anticipated the moment of the Incarnation of the Word with great joy.

God the Father looked through the entire human race throughout the ages. In his divine will he destined the Blessed Virgin Mary to be my mother and the mother of the new creation of grace.

Sin had to be overcome once and for all, death had to be eliminated so that the children of God could resurrect and live after death, the ancient enemy of the human race had to be restrained and be put to shame, the kingdom of heaven had to be given to those who would accept the Son of God.

The archangel Gabriel came to visit the humble virgin to announce the plan of the Heavenly Father to bring salvation to the world. At the consent of Mary, my beloved mother, the Holy Spirit overshadowed her and she conceived in her womb. The Word of God was now made flesh.

At my arrival into this world, darkness ceased to have power and was forced to give way to light whose author was here now. Sin shivered and began to surrender to my word to allow hearts and souls to be filled with my grace. The world, then perishing by the sinfulness of his people, began its restoration, with the splendor of the new era brought about by my incarnation.

My gratitude as the Word of God is eternal towards my mother, for having clothed my spirit with her flesh, for having given me human existence and for having accompanied me and taken care of me until my death on the cross.

I want you all to look up to her, and accept her as your own mother, imitate her and receive her as your great means of coming closer to me. Learn from her humility and great virtues that she practiced during her entire life.
