And The Word Became Flesh

Happy Solemnity of the Annunciation!

"The Annunciation gave Mary something amazing to ponder, something that happens to be deeply related to Marian consecration and entrustment." 33 Days to Morning Glory, Fr. Michael E. Gaitley

Today Pope Francis prayed the The Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for Russia and Ukraine.

Mary is our Mother, the Queen of Peace.

We entrust ourselves to her Immaculate Heart.

"John Paul explains, “For it must be recognized that before anyone else it was God Himself, the Eternal Father, who entrusted Himself to the Virgin of Nazareth, giving her His own Son in the mystery of the Incarnation.” Mary surely marveled at this act of humility on God’s part." 33 Days to Morning Glory

She accepted her vocation as Mother of God.

In an instant she became the Spouse of the Holy Spirit.

At the Cross she became our Mother too.

“Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word” (Lk 1:38)

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. John 1:14
