Yes...I’ve read it and even taught lessons from the passage.

I find nothing in the passage that gives to Mary the prominence given to her by the Catholic Church. I find none of the “assumptions” made about her by the Catholic Church in the Bible.

I do find that we are to love the Lord God with all our heart, soul, mind and body however. No one else are we to give the honor and glory too. Paul didn’t. Peter didn’t. The early church didn’t.

“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.
