New Thing- Feast of the Annunciation Garden Planing
Inspiration: The Feast of the Annunciation, Gardening
Time: About an Hour
Bottom Line: Hail Mary!
Reflection: Today is the Feast of the Annunciation. According to Wikipedia's definition:
The Annunciation, also referred to
as the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary or Annunciation of the
Lord, is the Christian celebration of the announcement by the archangel
Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she would become the mother of Jesus
Christ the Son of God. Despite being a virgin, Mary would miraculously
conceive a child who would be called the Son of God. Gabriel told Mary
to name her son Jesus, meaning "YHWH delivers". Most of Christianity
observes this event with the Feast of the Annunciation on 25 March, nine
full months before Christmas.
Devotees of 365 will remember that last time around, I planted seeds and said prayers over each one as a mediation to match the seed that God planted in Mary (you can find that post here). But, it snowed today! So there was not seed planting this time around. Instead, I plotted out my garden plan for this season and chanted the Magnificat when I was done.
A prayer for the Feast of the Annunciation
Pour your grace into our hearts, O Lord, that we who have known the incarnation of your Son Jesus Christ, announced by an angel to the Virgin Mary, may by his cross and passion be brought to the glory of his resurrection; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
