10 Annunciation Things that Caught My Eye Today (April 4, 2016)

1.

Normally celebrated March 25, #Annunciation never falls during #HolyWeek so is transferred to today, day one following the #EasterOctave.

2. Pope Francis: It’s the feast of saying yes to God.

3. Bishop Samuel Jacobs:

today is the right day to thank the Lord and ask ourselves: am I a man or woman of ‘yes’ or a man or woman of ‘no’? Or am I a man or woman who looks away, so as not to respond?” Lord, I renew my “yes” to follow your will, uttered many times over the years. May my “yes” be a continual surrendering to you even to my last “yes.”

4. From Magnificat:
