It's surrounded by so much great stuff that I get why I never hear about its meaning - when you're the opening act for "You're gonna have a Son!" You really just want to get to the main event.<br /><br />But lots and lots of Monday and Saturday rosaries kept me focused on 1:29 and it brought me great comfort. Here's the woman who would shortly after become the Queen of Heaven - the woman who hadn't sinned yet and certainly didn't here - and her first reaction to Gabriel's "Hello" isn't confusion, but the feeling of being "greatly troubled"<br /><br />That's such a real, legitimate, honest human emotion that it catches me more and more off guard the more I read it. OF COURSE that's her first reaction. I mean, 1:29 is before anything is asked of her, before anything is explained to her. It's one of those things that reminds me that these are real people and real events. She's troubled by the greeting. She works through it. She complies anyway. It's particularly inspiring when you have questions or troubles or problems. You're not alone. Mary felt troubled too. She's praying for you.<br /><br />Awesome. I love Luke 1:29Chris P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10719297389304906325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-40901395980344428402015-12-08T12:45:46.880-08:002015-12-08T12:45:46.880-08:00Thanx Father!
