For thousands of years the world had been expecting the promised Messias. The fulness of time has now come. The eternal Father sends a heavenly messenger to Mary, to treat with her of the mystery of the Incarnation. She pronounces the word "Fiat!" "Be it done!" And the heavens open; the Earth possesses a Savior;
Mary has become the Mother of God.Years pass by. The time has arrived when the great sacrifice is to be consummated. We find Mary at the foot of the cross. With the dying breath of Jesus she receives the Church as an inheritance.
Mary becomes our Mother.These are the two great titles which give Mary a claim on our veneration and affection.
