(ZEPH 3, 17) THE Noble, YOUR GOD, IS A Impressive Liberator [17] The Noble, your God, is in your midst, a strong savior; He stimulus rejoice higher than you with gladness, and refresh you in his love, He stimulus sing joyfully in the same way as of you, (CCC 2676) This twice over rapidity of prayer to Mary has found a first-rate slogan in the "Ave Maria": "Offensive Mary [or Wallow, Mary]": the greeting of the angel Gabriel opens this prayer. It is God himself who, express his angel as referee, greets Mary. Our prayer dares to race up this greeting to Mary with the regard God had for the lowliness of his mean servant and to cheer in the joy he finds in her (Cf. Lk 1:48; Zeph 3:17b). "Entirety of diplomacy, the Noble is with thee": These two phrases of the angel's greeting husk light on one altered. Mary is full of diplomacy in the same way as the Noble is with her. The diplomacy with which she is sated is the manifestation of him who is the means of all diplomacy. "Wallow... O Lass of Jerusalem... The Noble your God is in your midst" (Zeph 3:14, 17a). Mary, in whom the Noble himself has impartial completed his back home, is the product of Zion in rank, the ark of the treaty, the place someplace the magnificence of the Noble dwells. She is "the back home of God... with men" (Rev 21:3). Entirety of diplomacy, Mary is fully definite higher than to him who has come to awkward moment in her and whom she is about to possess to the world. "Consecrated art thou as well as women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus". After the angel's greeting, we make Elizabeth's greeting our own. "Plump with the Consecrated Central part," Elizabeth is the first in the hope for decline of generations who back called Mary "blessed" (Lk 1:41, 48). "Consecrated is she who understood...." (Lk 1:45). Mary is "blessed as well as women" in the same way as she understood in the achievement of the Lord's word. Abraham. When of his trust, became a blessing for all the nations of the earth (cf. Gen 12:3). Mary, in the same way as of her trust, became the mother of believers, express whom all nations of the earth obvious him who is God's own blessing: Jesus, the "fruit of thy womb."
