Friends of the Rosary,
Today, March 25, is the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, a feast that forecasts the event of Christmas and commemorates the most sublime moment in history, the moment when the Second Person of the Holy Trinity assumed human nature in the womb of the Virgin Mary. It’s a feast of Mary and also of Jesus.
At midnight, when the holy Virgin was alone and absorbed in prayer, the Archangel Gabriel appeared and asked her whether she’d consent to become the Mother of God.
Nazareth became the counterpart of Eden when Eve was tricked by the serpent to eat from the forbidden fruit, and sin and death took possession of her, separating humanity from the source of immortality.
It’s the contrast between the angel of darkness and the angel of light, approaching with peace the new Eve;
‘Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with thee! Blessed art thou among women!’
Now, the humble maid of Nazareth replies to the heavenly messenger:
‘Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word.’ It’s her fiat of ‘be it done,’
The obedience of the second Eve repaired the disobedience of the first Eve.
God made Mary to crush the head of the rebel angels, and exalted her above all the angels of heaven as the Queen of all creation.
We, the children of Adam, who have been snatched by Mary’s obedience from the power of hell, solemnize this day of the Annunciation.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
