You have asked how we would picture the scene when we pray it. My head space has not allowed me get past freaking out that an angel would present itself to me. The artwork you have selected, showing the angel Gabriel as a woman, has made it somewhat less intimidating, but I have a long way to go! Thank you for your beautiful reflections, Mary. You are most inspiring.

After googling protoevangelism, I felt a little smarter?. The beauty of your writing and Mary’s life is their depth and simplicity. You always make me think harder. Thank you.

One thing I thought about today … when the angel came and told Mary her son was going to be great —on a throne, over a kingdom—did she think “that sounds wonderful ?!” Maybe she didn’t realize all the pain it would entail. She continues with her great example, though, because even if it didn’t turn out as she planned it turned out better (even if much harder) than anyone could dream. Good lesson for me to not question God’s requests of me and life’s struggles.

I wonder if Mary felt that peace after saying yes to God? I love this reflection because I love the blessed mother. I loved your writing because I never thought about how Mary’s choice was the crest, or turning point for humanity. “ Lord, help me to see the importance in saying “Yes” to you and “no” to temptation. Help me to realize that my “yes” to you is part of building your Kingdom through my ordinary life. Lead me and guide me, Lord, to do my part. Amen.”…Help me begin by listening. Thank you Mary, and have a blessed week.

I just could not stop reading and meditating on your reflection. Very inspiring. Thank you.
