March 25: Hail Mary

The angel Gabriel was sent from God
to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph,
of the house of David,
and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said,
“Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”


Today is the Feast of the Annunciation. This is the day that the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she would become the mother of our Savior. Spend a few minutes in prayer, praying the mystery of the Annunciation (Our Father, 10 Hail Mary's, and the Glory Be prayer). Don't just repeat the words mindlessly, try to focus on what the experience must've been like for Mary. While praying, thank God for choosing to come as one of us to save us from sin and reveal His love.
