Luke 1:28 CPDV
"And upon entering, the Angel said to her: "Hail, full of grace. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.""
O Come, O Come Emmanuel and Ransom captive Israel
Have you thought about this verse? The angel was proclaiming that Mary was full of grace. Grace can only come from the Father, this isn't something that we can do ourselves. Mary was doing the actions necessary to receive Grace from above. She had to have put God first in her life to gain such an announcement.
I imagine that she had denied self in order to be so highly blessed by God. Self, is the only thing that we have control over.
The Blessings come from above so be patient in your daily struggles with self. God knows our needs, He knows our strengths and weakness. Seek Him daily to overcome self and be patient, God sees your efforts.
Have a Blessed Sunday and look forward to the birth of Christ, our King.
