‘God This week brings us to the feast of the Annunciation on March 25. While it is a Marian moment in the Church’s calendar, it is truly a feast of the Lord. This day celebrates the instant that the Eternal Word took our fallen humanity into an indestructible bond with His divinity and became flesh, became a man. Eternally consubstantial with His Father, the Son was suddenly also consubstantial with His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In the traditional Roman calendar, the day before is fittingly the feast of the Archangel Gabriel, the angel of the Annunciation.
