March 25, 2021 - The Archangel Gabriel is sent by God to the Blessed Virgin stating His intentions that the Salvation Himself be born through her. In the Old Testament man fell facedown at the sight and splendor of this Archangel. When the Archangel Gabriel comes to Mary, it is he who is astounded. Tonight, on the Feast of the Ascension, we look at this profound truth. We also look at the humility of the Blessed Virgin who, when God speaks His desire, responds with the posture of self-offering that His will alone might be done.
