annunciation

Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!" Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean. - Luke 1:28-29

Read: Luke 1:26-38

Gabriel came to me and told me that I will be blessed with a baby boy and that I will name him Jesus. But why did the Lord choose me? There are lots of other women, why me? Did you choose me because of my response? Or my way of living? I don’t understand why me?

Lord, I am very grateful that I, a common woman, would be chosen to have your son Emmanuel, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Why Lord? Why me?

My heart is full of joy! I don’t know why you chose me but I trust that you will do great things with me and through me. You have done great things. You have healed the sick, you have performed great things with only your hands. You have been mindful of the ways of your servant. Thank you, Lord.

You have done powerful things lord. You have brought down rulers from their thrones, but have lifted up the humble and given food to the hungry. You are so great Lord. I love you very much.
