God had a plan. With the fall of Man in the Garden of Eden, God told Satan, “I will put enmity between you and the woman.” In God’s time, He revealed His plan. He chose a young virgin in her teens to work with Him in order to execute His Plan. The girl’s name was Mary. (Luke 1:27)

One day, as Mary was in her home in Nazareth, God sent the angel Gabriel with a message for her. Gabriel said, “Rejoice, O highly favored daughter! The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.” Mary was confused; but, the angel said, “Do not be afraid for you have found favor with God.” The angel went on to explain how God chose Mary to bear His Son by the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Luke 1:28-35)

God’s Plan was contingent on one very important detail. Mary had to freely consent to it. Because Mary was “full of grace”, she was in total compliance with the Will of God. At the moment when Mary said, “I am the handmaiden of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to Thy Word.” (Luke 1:38) - she conceived!

For Christians, that may have been the most significant moment in the history of the Universe. The Church has long remembered that event with a prayer known as “The Angelus.” Mary’s “Yes.” is the inspiration behind Angelus Music. We long to do what Mary did; to bring Christ into an ungodly world.
