Quote
This quote highlights the qualities of Trust, Obedience, and Integrity that Mary and Joseph exemplified in fulfilling their roles.
"Mary learned [from the angelic messenger] that she was to be the mother of the Son of God, the Only Begotten of the Father in the flesh. The child would inherit the physical, mental, and spiritual traits characterized by his parents--one the glorified God; the other a worthy, blessed mortal woman. After receiving the angel's message, Mary; in unreserved obedience, replied, "Be it unto me according to the word." In humbly accepting this opportunity of motherhood, Mary exemplifies the quality of obedience to which all disciples aspire.
Joseph, as Mary had done before him, heeded the counsel and "did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife." His noble character exemplifies the virtues of faithful obedience as well as of integrity. "
Susan Easton Black, Mary, His Mother; Ensign Jan 1991
