The Solemnity of the Annunciation is Wednesday, 3/25
SOLEMNITY OF THE ANNUNCIATION:
"Therefore is it that we, the children of Adam, who have been snatched by Mary's obedience from the power of hell, solemnize this day of the Annunciation. Well may we say of Mary those words of Debbora, when she sang her song of victory over the enemies of God's people: ‘The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel, until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel. The Lord chose new wars, and He Himself overthrew the gates of the enemies.’ Let us also refer to the holy Mother of Jesus these words of Judith, who by her victory over the enemy was another type of Mary: 'Praise ye the Lord our God, who hath not forsaken them that hope in Him. And by me, His handmaid, He hath fulfilled His mercy, which He promised to the house of Israel; and He hath killed the enemy of His people by my hand this night. . . . The almighty Lord hath struck him, and hath delivered him into the hands of a woman, and hath slain him.'"
—Excerpted from The Liturgical Year, Abbot Gueranger O.S.B.
THE LEAGUE IN LENT:
A reminder and encouragement to everyone to read the challenges carefully and get going on the basic elements of Lent, if you haven't: fasting, alms-giving, and prayer. Then start adding in the extra burdens. Remember that our focus is on preparing ourselves to meet Christ anew in the celebration of Easter. This is the heart of the joy of our lives ~ let us prepare the way for the Lord!
