FEAST OF ANNUNCIATION

March 25, is celebrated as the Feast of Annunciation, which refers to the announcement of Angel Gabriel to Virgin Mary that she would become the mother of Jesus. 10 months from this day would be December 25 - Christmas. As we celebrate the Feast of Annunciation, let us also remember it is includes the message of 'Renunciation'... since Mary replied 'Here am I, Your servant. Let Thy will be done', knowing that her commitment would cost her to risk many things, much more than any of us could even imagine. It is easy to celebrate the Feast of Annunciation as a worshiper. But, the challenge is to practice the message of renunciation, as a disciple. May God bless you all!!!
