The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, a virgin betrothed to Joseph, announcing she would conceive and bear a son, Jesus, through the Holy Spirit. Though troubled, Mary humbly accepted, declaring herself the Lord's servant. She visited her cousin Elizabeth, who recognized her as the Mother of God. Mary's faith and obedience brought salvation to the world.

O, Holy #Theotokos, intercede for us sinners! Guide our steps towards righteousness and protect us from evil. May your example of humility and faith inspire us to always say "yes" to God's will.
