The Visitation to Elizabeth
Today is the Announcement to Mary. The angel comes to a small house in the town of Nazareth. This is in contrast to the angel’s first appearance in the holy sanctuary of the Temple but it serves to show that God is present everywhere. The angel comes to an unknown young woman, and not only to holy priests, for God’s Good news is for all.
Today begins the first Season of the Liturgical Year, known as The Season of the Glorious Birth. This Season begins with the Announcement to Zechariah, followed by the Announcement to Mary, Birth of John the Baptist, Revelation to Joseph, Genealogy of Jesus, Birth of the Lord and concludes with Finding of Jesus in the Temple. Today’s Gospel reflects how we can sometimes struggle to have faith in God and what he has willed for us.
We have posted an intervention from one of the Maronite Delegates for the the first Assembly of the Plenary Council for the Catholic Church in Australia on our website. Go to the link in our bio to read it.
Today we celebrate the feast of Mar Sarkis and Bakhos. They are well venerated in the Maronite Church and are seen as protectors and many Eastern churches have been dedicated to them.
The First Assembly for the Plenary Council for the Catholic Church in the Australia will begin on 3 October and close on 10 October. One of our Members is a delegate for the Maronite Church. Keep the delegates in your prayers.
