 
Why  would God choose Mary tο become the Mother of His only-begotten Son? The  answer lies in Mary’s humility, as She Herself says: “for He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden” (Luke  l:48). The extreme humility of the Virgin  was the cause of this choice  of God, and not wealth, education or  beauty. God is not touched by any  of these qualities, but only by the  virtue of humility. The Virgin Mary  and Theotokos for the love of the salvation of mankind, humbled Herself  tο become, and accept tο be*come the Mother of God.
