María, modelo del creyente: lectura Teológico-Pastoral del saludo “Llena de Gracia” en Lucas 1,28

Abstract

God created the first humans in His image and likeness, allowing them to live in communion with Him and creation. However, due to original sin, humanity lost divine grace, except for the Virgin Mary, who stands as an exception due to her conception without original sin. This belief is based on the theological interpretation of the Bible, Tradition, and the Magisterium of the Church. The Virgin Mary is considered a model of holiness and the dispenser of divine grace. This study aims to demonstrate that Mary is a model for believers because of her state of being "full of grace." It is concluded that Mary reflects this grace and has a close relationship with Jesus and the Church. As a figure of the Church and an example to emulate, Mary is considered essential for the salvation of the believer.
