Nothing is impossible with God! (Lk 1:37)
( http://www.focolare.org/articolopdv.php?codart=7993 )

This word comes from the mouth of the Archangel Gabriel to Mary. I would like to quote words from a servant of God; Igino Giordani. He was a writer, journalist, political, ecumenical and patrologist, is one of the most representative figures of the twentieth century, a versatile personality who has left deep scars and opened prophetic perspectives in cultural, political, ecclesial, social. (1894-1980). ( http://www.scamat.it/news/iginogiordani.htm ; http://www.iginogiordani.info/ )

Full of grace, the Lord is with you! (Luke 1:28) ( http://www.indaco-torino.net/liturgia/08122005.htm )

Mary enters the story as he prays. The Archangel surprises her in prayer. His joy is to pray: her life is to pray. And prayer is converse with the Lord, poured out in him, vanish in him. What mattered the misery of the cubbyhole, excavated in the tufa walls of water that groaned flagra hill or the sun on the plains, when at her, over the dunes, you could build the wealth of God's love, distilled into a conversation between father and daughter, between servant and king, between nothing and everything? Maria lost herself and found the Lord.

And all this for an ardent love, waves was transformed at the foot of God's prayer to Mary was transfusion of love. (...)

Maria is the religion of the whole, the whole of virtue: in her very love of God has reached out and love of man, and in the burning light, generated on the basis of the purity 'humility with the expression of wisdom, virtue, protected by silence.

Marian Love does not ask; gives. It does not pretend, shall be considered in due course. If you have not left, bear and if it is ignored, rejoice, if it is beaten, jumped on the floor of Calvary, God makes a springboard to the sky. Where it is loved in return, it is good, if not loved in return, is closer to the Crucified.

no regrets if it is not understood. Hidden, it is more valuable: how to Nazareth. Takes its value in seeing, for his help, rejoice and ascend his brother, so even if the loving soul, itself, remains degraded. Because love is about to become one with the beloved, even if the beloved hang the unit. And its beauty is to submit, do not overlap; obey, not command, shoot, do not appear, keep quiet, not to defend himself. As Mary ancilla Domini, in which we see that if one does anything, it gets to the Whole. To make this anything, Mary, daughter of humble peasant craftsmen, in a remote village, was deemed worthy to become the Mother of God

from "Mary the perfect model" of Hyginus Giordani.

life experience: I

on the desk of the study two very nice images, with captions of the same rank: the SS. Trinity Jubilee ("Behind and in front surround me" Psalm 139) and Madonna ("Mary, Mother of mercy and tenderness, are the image and sign of the new creation"). These icons

I draw on my daily prayer. In particular, I pray the Lord to help in spiritual growth, to be able to witness in my life as a young man in a changing world, according to the plan he has prepared for me.

Maria, who was able to recognize the will of God in you, who welcomed her with joy, who courageously brought to fruition, I ask for his presence and his love for well take the steps which lead to the realization of God's plan for me.
so I am sure of "the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living", in expectation of Heaven.
