Mary said, “For the Mighty One has done great things for me; and holy is His name” (Luke 1:48).  Mary is “blessed among women” (Luke 1:42) being the bearer of the Son of God, the promised Messiah.  “For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; for behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed” Luke (1:49).  We find significance in relation to Him.  We are blessed because of Him!  Christ, the hope of glory is in us!
