A humble virgin, betrothed to Joseph, Mary received the Archangel Gabriel's annunciation: she would conceive and bear the Son of the Most High, #JesusChrist. Despite societal risks, she accepted God's will with unwavering faith, becoming the Theotokos—God-bearer. She nurtured Jesus, witnessed His ministry, stood by Him during His crucifixion, and was present at Pentecost. Her obedience and purity make her the archetype of holiness. Mother #Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
