"Rejoice, you who enjoy God's favour! The Lord is with you." (Luke 1:28)
Mary's life shows to us what being "graced" or "blessed" or "the favoured one" means.
We run after the crumbs that we fail to appreciate that the greatest blessing is having the Lord present in our lives. The greatest gift, the greatest blessing is God Himself.
Mary delighted in this favour. And nothing, not even the most painful moment of Christ's passion, crucifixion and death, has taken away from her this deep joy.
