The Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord

Gracious God, today we celebrate with joy Mary’s “YES” to the plan of salvation. Mary listens and believes in what she hears and acts upon what she belief in her daily life.

As we celebrate her ‘fiat,’ may we also listen to God’s Word and allow ourselves to be overshadowed by God’s power and enter deeper into our relationship with God and more fully into the Kingdom of God.

May we have Mary’s courage to say ‘yes’ to God’s will in our lives so we become part of God’s ongoing transformation of the world.

Amen.

The Grotto has been a special destination for millions of people throughout the world for generations. The good work of The Grotto has only been possible through the generous support of individuals and organizations who want to see The Grotto continue its mission of being a place of solitude, peace and prayer.

The cost of maintaining a 54-acre shrine, open daily, is immense. We need your help now more than ever.

Our Friends of The Grotto program is a wonderful way to help The Grotto and to enjoy special events and benefits.
