Mary in the Gospel of Luke

It is known that Mary was a girl before the arrival of the angel, who spent her childhood in the city of Nazareth. We can assume that as an ordinary girl growing up, she also had a picture of her life in her mind, but she certainly never thought that her life would be affected by divine intervention. That she did not hope for such a change in her life is evidenced by her confusion at Gabriel's unusual greeting as well as the announcement that she will conceive a child by the Holy Spirit. Even though Mary thinks completely humanly, this in no way weakens her faith in God. On the contrary, believing in God's omnipotence, she accepts what was told to her by the Lord. However, it should be said that Mary, as the mother of Jesus, whose father is God himself, did not lose her identity as an earthly mother who cares and whose care sometimes comes before God's will. This is most noticeable through Luke's childhood gospel, where Mary, as a faithful servant of God, is once again overwhelmed by the confusion, fear and worry to her Son. Through a careful analysis of the account of Jesus' childhood, Luke makes it possible to see in Mary as the Mother of God the further gradual building of her faith in the plan that God has with her Son, and in addition, in Luke's gospel is best manifested Mary's identity as a disciple of her son Jesus who is the Son of God.
