THE ANNUNCIATION
THE HAIL MARY
THE HAIL MARY
3. The Lord is with Thee.
The Lord is with Thee, more than with us, the Angel implied. The Lord is with Thee more than any other creature. By totally possessing Thee He is with Thee. There is nothing in Mary that does not wholly belong to, nothing which is not completely possessed by, Almighty God. God is also with us, but how half-heartily on our part! We do not easily let God possess us as fully as did Mary.
Moreover, the Lord was with Thee, Mary, and thought of Thee and took delight in Thee before anything was created by His hands. He is with Thee for ever, He wanted Thee so closely united to Him as to become His Mother whilst He became Thy Son.
Meditate on how Jesus wants to unite Himself also to you. To this purpose He seeks and calls you and unites Himself to you through grace and through Eucharist Communion.
