One of the reasons Mary is so revered is her ability to handle so many surprises within a 12-month time-frame. Engagement to Joseph, visitation by an angel, pregnant with the child of God, and now Elizabeth’s proclamation of the great blessing from God to Mary. God has surprises for us in Jesus, just around the corner.
