"Greetings, favoured one! The Lord is with you".
This greeting is an invitation to rejoice, and announces the end of the sadness of the world in relation to the limits of life, suffering...the darkness of the evil that seems to obscure the light of divine goodness. It is a greeting that marks the beginning of the Gospel, the Good News.

Mary was disturbed by the message of the angel who came to tell her that she would become the Mother of the Savior. She was conscious of her frailty in the face of God's omnipotence. Nevertheless, she said "yes", without hesitating. And thanks to her yes, salvation came into the world, thereby changing the history of mankind.

In reality, Mary’s ‘yes’ is the reflection of Christ’s own ‘yes’ when He entered the world.

‘Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, let it be done to me according to your Word.’
Mary’s reply to the angel is extended in the Church, which is called to make Christ present in history, offering its own availability so that God might continue to visit humanity with his mercy.
