“Hail Mary, full of grace”
Perhaps your Bible doesn’t say it quite that way, dear one, but who can be greeted by an angel in this manner — unless they were sinless — full of grace.
Did you miss the message of the angel? Thank goodness Mary didn’t and said “Yes” to the angel’s greeting and announcement (The Annunciation of the Lord.) For she became the Mother of Jesus, fully human, fully divine.

Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
