In the sixth month
the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a
virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the
virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, "Hail, O favored one,
the Lord is with you!" But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and
considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said
to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And
behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his
name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the
Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign
over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no
end." And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I have no
husband?" And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon
you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to
be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, your kinswoman
Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month
with her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible."And
Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me
according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

Waya’y duha-duha na
notubag si Mary sa mensahe na daya ni angel Gabriel para dija kay segurado man
sija na gikan gajud ini kan God.
An pagtubag ni Mary
sa mga pulong ni God amo’y marajaw na sumbanan nan isa ka puro na pagtuo nan
waya’y pagpanuko na pagtuo kay nagsalig man gajud sija sa Diyos.
Puno si Mary nan grasya
kay waya’y duda na abir kon uno’y mahitabo, himoon gajud nija an gusto ipahimo
dija ni God.
Nagatuo ba kita sa
mga saad ni God sanan mohimo ba kita sa Ija mga gusto para dato?

"Heavenly Father,
you offer us abundant grace, mercy, and forgiveness through your Son, Our Lord
Jesus Christ. Help me to live a grace-filled life as Mary did by believing in
your promises and by giving you my unqualified 'yes' to your will and plan for
my life."
