I. INTRODUCTION
Sin entered the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God,
and as a result, were sent out of the Garden and the gates
were closed to them. But before this, the Lord made a
promise: “I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at
your feet while you strike at his head.” (Genesis 3:15)
Through the ages, this promise was echoed in 44
prophecies about the coming of a Messiah in the Old
Testament, one of which came from Isaiah, "Therefore,
the LORD himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall
be with child, and bear a son, and you shall name him
Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14)

as the Magnificat or the canticle of Mary (Luke 1:46:55).

4. “His mercy is from age to age, to those who fear
him.” (v. 50). Mary’s song of praise was not
because of what was done to her alone, but more
for the part given to her by the Father in His plan
of salvation for all humanity from the past and on
to the future.1

A. The Perfect Daughter of God the Father
She nurtured Him, fed Him, clothed Him, took care of Him.
She taught Him how to pray, sing psalms, read scriptures,
and brought Him up with patience, affection and
gentleness, fulfilling her motherhood as best she could.
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of
the Most High will overshadow you.” (Luke 1:35) Mary
being overshadowed by the Most High brings about the
incarnation of Jesus, and in turn, in this, the Holy Spirit
consummates the union of God and Mary. Mary becomes
the spouse of the Holy Spirit with this perfect union.
