Mary’s Choice – Christine Valters Paintner

“When the angel Gabriel visits Mary, she is given a choice rather than a demand. Mary is both active in her openness to choice and saying yes to the angel’s invitation, as well as surrendering to the divine desire: ‘Let it be done to me.’ The divine unfolding is dependent upon Mary’s full ‘yes.’”
