As Jesus was set apart from the world upon His consecration, we also must live apart from the world on receiving the Sacrament of Baptism and strengthening through Confirmation.
As we meditate on the Joyful mysteries, we remember to make room for Mary in our hearts so that it may become a graced place of comfort, love, and hope.

The angel Gabriel's message to Mary is the fulfillment of the prophecy in Zechariah – God is always coming to dwell among us so that we may all be His people!
