Mama Mary likely didn't understand the full extent of what she said "Yes" to on that day Angel Gabriel made the announcement to her. And, I am sure, she was aware that there was more to it that meets the eye. Still, she decided to say "Yes", surrendering her life completely to God's Will. Throughout her life, as God's plan unfolded, she said "Yes" again and again and again --- even during the difficult times of Christ's passion, witnessing her Son's sufferings and unable to protect Him. And she remains true to her "Yes" at the foot of the cross, when she assumed motherhood for all mankind.
"This maternity of Mary in the order of grace began with the consent which she gave in faith at the annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, and lasts until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect."
