After having appeared to the priest Zechariah in the Temple in Jerusalem to foretell the coming of the great prophet John, God's plan shifts to a teenage girl in the backwater village of Nazareth. The angel Gabriel shares amazing and unprecedented news with Mary, setting up a moment of decision on her part. Will she run away like Jonah, hesitate like Moses or Esther, or will she embrace this responsibility of being the mother to the Messiah?
We all know how Mary responds, an incredible example for us to imitate of hearing the word of the Lord and obeying it.
