Mary is blessed because she was chosen by God to bear the Savior, exemplifying grace and humility.
Mary's blessedness is evident in her unique role as the mother of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. In her song, she acknowledges that 'from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed' (Luke 1:48). This statement is a reflection of God's sovereign choice and grace upon her life, highlighting her humble acceptance of God's will. Despite her lowly status as a handmaiden, Mary recognized that her blessing came not from her own merit but from the grace and mercy of God, which He bestows on all who fear Him. Her recognition of God’s mighty deeds works within her and emphasizes the importance of humility and faithfulness, setting a prototype for all believers.
