The Annunciation celebrates the angel Gabriel’s announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would bear the Son of God (Luke 1:26–38). In this moment, the eternal Word took flesh, fulfilling God’s promise of salvation (Isaiah 7:14; Hebrews 10:4–10). Mary’s humble response, “Let it be to me according to your word,” marks the beginning of Christ’s saving work in the world. This feast proclaims the mystery of the Incarnation and God’s gracious initiative for our redemption.
The Annunciation calls us to marvel at God’s mercy and faithfulness. As Christ takes flesh for our salvation, may this feast strengthen trust in God’s Word, humble obedience, and joyful confidence in the salvation He provides.
Readings: Isaiah 7:10–15 / Hebrews 10:4–10 / Luke 1:26–38a
