Consecration to the Holy Family

The Angel told Mary that she was full of grace: ‘Hail full of grace, the Lord is with

you!’ If Mary had not been full of grace and all holy, the Angel could not have said that to her that she was full of grace, because she would have some stain of sin in her. ‘The Lord is with you,’ - said the Angel – because Mary belongs totally to God and exists totally for God. To think that Jesus shared His Mother with us! He gave us Mary to be our Mother in the spiritual order of grace. What a great gift God has given us!
