Annunciation = Hope

O My Soul:

For those feeling hopeless, today we remember the angel Gabriel's announcement to Mary:

The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God...for with God nothing will be impossible (Luke 1:35-37).

Nine months from today we observe the birth of Christ, but today we observe His conception. There is hope for your soul in Christ.

We pray:

O Lord, as we have known the incarnation of Your Son, Jesus Christ, by the message of the angel to the virgin Mary, so by the message of His cross and passion bring us to the glory of His resurrection; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

God bless you in Christ,
