Joseph looks at Her and large tears well up in his deep eyes:
“Forgive me, Mary. I mistrusted You. Now I know. I am not worthy of having such a treasure.”

“How do you know? Is the news certain?”
– Joseph, after hearing from Mary that Elizabeth was pregnant in her old age
“A messenger came. One who would not tell lies.”
– Mary, speaking of Gabriel

Mary tells Joseph about Elizabeth
«What shall I tell my Lord? Let no thought whatsoever disturb You. He will protect Your interests if You trust in Him. The world, Heaven, the Eternal Father are awaiting Your word!»
– Gabriel
«I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let what you have said be done to Me.»
– Mary

«Here are Your servants, O Lord. May your will always be done by us, in every hour, in every event, for Your glory and Your love.»
– Mary offering her newborn to the Father, with Joseph kneeling by her side.
