"Gabriel appeared to her and said, 'Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!'" 1:28

So Mary was favoured, huh. What exactly does that even mean? I mean, her whole life she wasn't blessed or anything. According to the Bible she was just a normal servant girl, yet God chose her for the most amazing job ever asked of someone.

You know, if you think about it, we are all God's children, and therefore we are all favoured. In the same way that Mary was a holy vessel that brought Christ into the world, we are all holy vessels that continue to bring the Holy Spirit to the world through our home, our school, or our job. We've been chosen as witnesses to God.

crazy, huh?
