"Full of grace" -- in the original Greek, kecharitoméne -- is Mary's most beautiful name, the name God himself gave to her to indicate that she has always been and will always be the beloved, the elect, the one chosen to welcome the most precious gift, Jesus: "the incarnate love of God." ~Pope Benedict, Angelus, 12/8/06
Hail Mary, full of grace! Help us to see that God has also made us beautiful with His grace and has chosen us, like you and with you, to bear the fruit of your womb, Jesus, for the life of the world. Amen.
