"Be it done" - that generous word!

FEAST of the ANNUNCIATION

March 25 

"The Virgin Mary utters that generous word, "be it done"

...Immediately the Heart of Jesus, ever to be adored,

has begun to pulsate with love, divine and human."

Pius XII, On Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, 63

 The Annunciation, Adolphe-William Bouguereau (1888)

"The best model for our thanksgiving

[after Holy Communion]

is Mary receiving the Word in her womb. 

The most pleasing reception we can make Jesus

and the one best and most rich in graces for us

is to join with His Blessed Mother

in adoring Him present in our hearts."

St Peter Julian Eymard

 

 

 

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God,
that we may be made worthy

of the promises of Christ.
