It’s just a happenstance that we interrupt our Lenten observance to focus on the Feast of the Annunciation, because it is nine months till the celebration of Christmas. During Lent, we sometimes focus so much on what I am doing, or what I am not doing. The Feast of the Annunciation invites us to reflect on not what I am doing, but what God is doing to me, with me. Mary says, “Let it be done to me according to your word.” That could be our prayer as well, or the Responsorial Psalm – “Hear I am Lord, I come to do your will.”
