This feast gives us great reason to rejoice because God took an important step to reverse the curse of sin that came upon humanity when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. He sent the Angel Gabriel to Mary, who obediently heard the Word of God and offered herself to Him as His servant.
Her affirmative response made passage for Jesus the Son of God to enter the world and bring us salvation. As St. Paul writes, we are blessed because God chose us to be free from the stain of sin and be holy before Him, that we may praise our great God.
