This reading is mainly about how the Angel Gabriel came across Mary and told her
“The Lord is with you, do not be afraid”.
The Angel Gabriel also told her that she was going to be married to Joseph and how she was also going to be a Mother to Jesus '‘The Son of Most High”.
Angel Gabriel was sent by God to tell her the news.

Mary was confused because she didn’t know how this could happen because she is a virgin. The Angel said to her “..the Holy Spirit’s power will overshadow you...”
Mary was weary of this angel because she was virgin; she didn't understand or know until the angel blessed her. She then believed it and was happy she was going to have a son.

Lastly the scripture tells us that Mary believes the angels' words and she then becomes a servant of God. We know this because “Then Mary said, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.”
