Visited by Angel Gabriel at the young age of 13

In time we will be greeted at the gates of heaven by Mary

Reminder of God's love for us

Given the gift of being born without original sin

Everday trusted the Lord

No disbelief in His holy word

Did all things in conjunction with faith

Ever virgin mother of God

Grew up in the peasant class, which eked out its living through agriculture

Unbounded love and mercy

Accepted God's call to be the mother of Jesus

Deeds, through her, will make man manifest

Assumption, Mary is the only person who rose to heaven body and soul

Leader and teacher of Jesus

Universal mother of salvation

Perpetual mother of virginity

Earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread.....
