What happens at the annunciation?

Answer 1

Catholic AnswerRead St. Luke's Gospel, chapter 1, verses 26-38. Basically, the archangel, Gabriel, came to Mary, saluted Mary, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women." Then the angel announced God's great favor of sending His Son into her womb. Finally Mary consents saying, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word." And the angel departed from her.

Answer

In Nazareth, Blessed Mother, who was the most lovely, sweetest girl, age 14, was Praying. She loved to spend time with God. She heard other young people outside playing and goofing off, and she was sorry about that. She was sorry that they were wasting their time in that manner and not thinking of, and praying to God.

As She prayed, the Hosts of Heaven surrounded Her, and the Archangel Gabriel knelt in the most profound respect before Her. He proclaimed: "Hail, Most Highly Favored Daughter! Full of Grace! The Lord is With Thee! Blessed Are Thou Amongst Women!" He told Her that She was to bear a Son and that She was to call His Name, "Jesus". At the mention of the Name of Jesus, the Archangel and all the Heavenly Hosts bowed their heads in reverence, and Blessed Mother felt overjoyed in Her Immaculate Heart!
