A Reflection About Mary

The document discusses the first Joyful Mystery, the Annunciation. It describes how the Archangel Gabriel greeted Mary and told her she would bear God's son, Jesus. Mary accepted this role, and Jesus was conceived in her womb. The document also discusses how Jesus honored Mary throughout his life, obeying her and revealing his mission to her before others. It encourages drawing closer to Mary during Lent to understand Jesus and receive favors, as God honored Mary above all others.
