Today we celebrate the Annunciation of the Lord - the time the Angel Gabriel came to Mary to announce she would bear the Son of God. As we did last week with Saint Joseph, we take pause in our Lenten sacrifices and penances to celebrate this moment in our salvation history. With Mary's "yes," our salvation was secured.
No Wind at the Window is an original text by John Bell, set to a traditional Irish tune. It is a modern telling of Gabriel's annunciation. | |
