Feast of the Annunciation

Monday, March 25, 2019 Solemn High Mass 6:00 p.m. The Feast of the Annunciation celebrates the day the glorious Blessed Virgin Mary said yes to become the bearer of Jesus Christ in her womb. Theologian Elizabeth Johnson describes the Annunciation in this way: "This young peasant girl discerns the voice of God in her life commissioning her to a momentous task. Exercising independent thought and action, she asks questions, takes counsel with her own soul. In a self-determining act of personal autonomy, she decides to go for it. This is her choice and it changes her life. A woman of Spirit, she embarks on the task of partnering with God in the work of redemption."
