Inspired by Mark Lowry and Buddy Greene's lyrics: 

"Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod, 
and when you kiss your little baby, you've kissed the face of God?"
 

Illustrations used: Madonnas by many old masters, including Boticelli, Raphael, Luini.

Mary's response to being chosen by God for the special task of bearing His Son was to praise Him:
"My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done great things for me--
Holy is His name."  (Luke 1:46~49)
