   The angel Gabriel announces to Mary, God’s plan to have her conceive of the Holy Spirit and give birth to Jesus Christ.
She is favored by God above all women to be the earthly mother of the Son of the most high God. The angel tells her that
Jesus will reign over the house of Jacob forever and there will be no end to His kingdom. The angel of the Lord appears to
Joseph, to whom Mary is betrothed and tells Him more than Mary knows about the Son that she carries. Joseph is told that
Jesus, called Emmanuel (God with us), will save His people from their sins. Joseph understood that Mary carried in her womb
the hope of all mankind. Mary symbolized and was the completion of God’s plan of salvation for all of humanity.
     When we look at the birth of Jesus, we must also see that we are also highly favored, in that God is birthing us unto Himself
through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
