Please send me your intentions for our Annunciation Octave of Masses and request Votive Lights to burn at Our Lady’s Shrine. The octave begins Saturday, March 25, and we want to remember you and your prayer requests throughout the eight days. On the feast of the Annunciation, March 25, the Church celebrates Mary’s “yes” to God to become the Mother of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Let us pray to become more like Mary in every moment and circumstance. Imitating the one who is full of grace in her day-in-day-out acceptance of God’s will is the surest and shortest path to Jesus. We hope you will join us in prayer during our Annunciation Octave of Masses, and give your “yes” to God, just as Mary did.
