Mary turned her veiled face toward the angel but she was very shy and did not look directly at him. “How can this be,” she asked, “since I have no relations with a man?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore, the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God” (Luke 1:31-33, 35). Mary lifted her veil slightly and whispered, “I am the handmaid of the Lord; be it done unto me according to your word” (Luke 1:38).
