Hand-picked by God and called “highly-favored” by His messenger, Mary was a young girl when she spoke the fearless words of faith, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word!” receiving for the human race the Savior of the world.

⁴⁶ And Mary said,
My soul doth magnify the Lord,
⁴⁷ And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
⁴⁸ For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden:
for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
⁴⁹ For he that is mighty hath done to me great things;
and holy is his name.
⁵⁰ And his mercy is on them that fear him
from generation to generation.
⁵¹ He hath shewed strength with his arm;
he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
⁵² He hath put down the mighty from their seats,
and exalted them of low degree.
⁵³ He hath filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich he hath sent empty away.
⁵⁴ He hath helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy;
⁵⁵ As he spake to our fathers,
to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

Luke 1:46-55
