THE ANNUNCIATION
The Annunciation
The Annunciation is the name for God's 'announcing' to
Mary of Nazareth, that He wished her to become the
Mother of His only begotten Son.
For infinite ages, the coming into the world of our Redeemer
had been foretold to the angels, prophesied to man, and
expected in the world. Now the wondrous time had arrived.
God instructed the Archangel Gabriel in the exact message
he was to convey to Mary, and immediately Holy Gabriel, accompanied
by thousands of beautiful angels, streamed down to earth,
to Nazareth, in Galilee, to the humble abode of Mary.
She gave the matter deep consideration for several hours. Then with
an intense love of God, so great we cannot begin to understand,
She agreed to his request, saying, `Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Be it done unto me according to thy word.'
