The Angel Gabriel From Heaven Came Down

What would you say if you were a 14 year old unmarried virgin, and God asked you to have a baby? Mary said “yes.”

Was she asked or informed?

I love CSI Miami, and I don’t think I have ever heard that song, Chika. Why would I find it rude? I don’t. 🙂

Hmmm. Good question, ummadam. Tradition says she had a choice because we are born with free will. On the other hand, the God we both believe in created her and knew her heart. I think the angel said “blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb” which would imply – to me – that he was already . . . umm. . . implanted (?) Even then, women knew ways to abort – I guess God knew she wasn’t that kind, and that Joseph – being her fiancee, not yet married – would come around. I often wonder; it must have been a sticky situation.

I just love the line “most highly favored lady, gloria!”
