Please send your intentions for remembrance during AMM’s Annunciation Octave of Masses and request Votive Lights to burn at Our Lady’s Shrine. The octave begins Monday, April 8, and we want to remember you and your prayer requests throughout the eight days. (The Church defers its celebration of the traditional March 25 feast of the Annunciation when that date falls within Holy Week.) We pray to surrender ourselves to God’s will with an unconditional and joyous YES, as Mary did. Saint Louis de Montfort wrote that “Mary is the safest, easiest, shortest, and most perfect way of approaching Jesus…” When we imitate the one who said, “Let it be done to me according to your Word,” we will more easily embrace trials that Divine Providence allows to come our way. We hope you will join us in prayer during our Annunciation Octave of Masses.
