'Everything changes' with Christ's birth, Pope Francis says

Pope Francis greets representatives of the children and teens section of Italy's Catholic Action. Meeting the young people at the Vatican Dec. 20, the pope asked them to share their faith with their peers, being especially attentive to children who seem lonely or mistreated.
VATICAN – The Annunciation – the Angel Gabriel announcing to Mary that she will bear God's son -- was such a tremendous, history-changing event that preaching about it is extremely difficult, Pope Francis said.

Mary launched path to salvation

When Mary said “yes” to carrying the Christ child in her womb, as seen in Luca Giordano’s The Annunciation, mankind was on the way to salvation.

Lady Day — the Catholic feast, not 1940s jazz diva Billie Holiday — doesn’t get much attention. It almost always falls too close to Easter and with the many Marian feasts crowding the Catholic calendar, it’s hard to make time for the Feast of the Annunciation. This year it has been moved from its usual March 25 to April 4 so it does not conflict with Good Friday.

Let us be servants of the Lord

Let us be servants of the Lord

We are often eager to do favours for others without considering how they might feel about it. Do they really want or need what we have in mind? Are we satisfying our own needs under the guise of being openhanded and generous? This is even more the case when God is the recipient of our favours and gifts.

Does God want or need what we offer?
