Mary' expectations
On March 25th, the Church celebrates the special feast of the Annunciation. It is a time to stop and remember that God became a human being Jesus - the Incarnation - and that Mary was his mother.
That event continues to be remembered every day by the prayer called the 'Angelus'.
The prayer begins by recalling the Angel Gabriel's greeting to Mary, telling her she is to be the mother of Jesus.
