Solemnity of the Annunciation of Our Lord

Wed, March 25th, is the Annunciation of Our Lord.  It is a GREAT Feast in our church.  It is when Mary gave her Fiat (YES) to God Our Father and ultimately changed our fate.

On this, the vigil of the Annunciation, we contemplate that day two thousand years ago when the complete self-gift, body and soul, of a young girl to God inaugurated the redemption of all mankind. We learn from our Holy Father Augustine that “as death had befallen us through a woman, Life should be born to us through a woman.”

Eve, mother of all the living, was forbidden by God...

I think this goes great with our Life Night on Sunday about Vocations.
