As I study the mysteries of the rosary, the two which really grabbed me were the marriage at Cana - "Do whatever he tells you." and the Annunciation - Gabrial waits for her consent.... the Supreme Being offers the most perfect gift of grace to Mary and then, waits for her to consent. Wow!!

Yes! Me too! I also ponder the flight into Egypt. The last place any Jew would want to go is into the country from which they had fled from slavery. Such total trust! And what about the 18 years between when Jesus was found preaching in the temple and the beginning of His ministry. Mary must have pondered, wondered and reflected on the angel's announcement, the 3 Magi, the shepherds, the old man standing outside the Temple when she and Joseph presented Jesus. She kept all these things in her heart, never doubting.
