“In my judgment, Mary is one of the greatest women who has ever lived on earth…I think we see in Mary a pattern of piety and submission to the will of the Lord which is the perfect example for all women.” – (Elder Bruce R. Among the most famous settings is the version by Charles Gounod (1859), adding melody and words to Johann Sebastian Bach‘s first prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier. The Ave Maria has been set to music numerous times.
I also recommend reading Sheryl Condie Kempton’s beauitful article, “ Magnifying the Lord: Mary’s Example for Us,” Ensign, Dec 1980. “We cannot but think that the Father would choose the greatest female spirit to be the mother of his Son” ( The Mortal Messiah, Book 1: From Bethlehem to Calvary).
The fact that she was chosen to perform the mission of being the earthly mother of God’s Only Begotten Son, to bear and nurture him through his growing years, indicates that she was a chosen and exceptional spirit. Perhaps, as a mother myself, I feel a closer bond with her. I feel a deep reverence for Mary personally, and I have thought of her often this Christmas season. I recently wrote about how Mother Mary Went The Distance both physically and spiritually. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) do not worship Mary.
