Feast of the Annunciation

Reflection

“Your justice I kept not hid within my heart; your faithfulness and your salvation I have spoken of; I have made no secret of your kindness and your truth in the vast assembly.” –Psalm 40:11

Prayer

God of Love,

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation, when your angel Gabriel announced to Mary the incredible plan of salvation through your son’s incarnation. We give thanks for this momentous occasion, where divine initiative was met with willing and free human cooperation. Like Mary, may we also respond with a “yes and amen” to your call on our lives. With humility and grace, may we join in your plans and share your loving intentions with the rest of humanity, freely extending your compassion to others. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to think about the “news” I share with others the most. Do I have good news to share with others?
