Hail to all, on the Solemnity of the Annunciation

This being the blogsite of an organisation dedicated (as I love to repeat) to "strengthening family life through friendship and faith", we cannot let the Solemnity of the Annunciation go by without a mention!  This day marks the beginning of the Incarnation and of our final, definitive salvation - and that salvation takes place within the context of a family, the Holy Family.  What clearer indication do we need of God's will, not only that the family (based on the marriage of a man and a woman) should be the foundation of our society and of our growth as individual Christians, but that "family" is the context in which we should see the Church and all Christian organisations?

So - to my brothers and sisters in Christ, a very Happy Feast Day!
