Every time an angel appears to humanity, humanity falls down in fear and wonder at the angelic being. But when the Archangel Gabriel appears to the Blessed Virgin Mary at the Annunciation, it is he who is in wonder at this precious human vessel chosen by God to bear God within her and deliver Him to the human race for the salvation of the world. Tonight we explore the honor and reverence given by the Archangel to the Mother of God that we, too, might grow to love and honor her as her Son loves and honors her.
