What did Mary understand about who was in her womb before the birth of Jesus?

Humble obedience incarnated as the Lord had made her.One question arises: she was not too surprised by the angel regarding the who she was about to conceive, but only the how, as she was a devout Jewess she knew that a child Immanuel had been promised. So she must have known also that those lines in Isaiah about the lamb taken to the altar of sacrifice in silent obedience. A prefiguration of the call her son too was to follow. Had she fully understood? here she is overjoyed by having chosen blessed as the humble channel through which the Savour would come. Had the angels sheltered from full understanding, till Simeon piercing words? was she only thinking of the presentation at the temple the day of the circumcision? If she had not, we are only shown her joy adn not trouble inner pain at the thought of a future that would have become clearer and clearer. How much did Jesus tell her? if the complete truth, to prepare her to help him and Mary Magdalene to help both...it must have happened in the 'womb' of his stay at home prior the beginning of his ministry. For sure, we can only share in her joy. Her agony accompanyng us only on the day the hours of Calvary.She is our Mother and we have to accompany and be accompnaied by her. Contemporaries of them knew nothing. But how heart wrenching for all those who knew about the end (Beginning) of Jesus earthly life. For us too.

Luke describes how the angel Gabriel predicted the birth of Jesus to his mother Mary. According to Luke, what did the angel Gabriel predict as the future role of Jesus? Note: The name Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua, which means "God saves."

He is the Antidote against the poisonous bite of the jelous Lucifer. He is the true Light the renewing Blood that cleanses us from the stings we suffered or let the Devil sting us. Like with king David poisoned by lust and redeemed by Faith in the promised progeny of which Jesus is the Highest fruit and whom we have to enthrone in our hearts so that he can have full control of our fragile humanity.If we do not partake every Sunday, minimum, to the Word and the perpetuating Sacrifice, how can we build up our Antidote reserves in blood stream?And if we do not 'partake' of Confession with regularity?
