March 18, 2022 Reflection – A Novena for the Annunciation of the Lord – Day 3

March 18, 2022

Dear Family of Mary!

Novena for the Annunciation, Day 3:

Mary is the new Eve. She said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done unto me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38).With these words of Mary, the Handmaid of the Lord, a new world began. (Fr. Slavko Barbaric. “Give Me Your Wounded Heart”.)

Our Lady says to us:

September 25, 2002

“Dear children!

Also in this peaceless time,
I call you to prayer.

Little children,
pray for peace
so that in the world
every person
would feel love
towards peace.

Only when the soul finds peace in God,
it feels content
and love will begin to flow in the world.

And in a special way,
little children,
you are called to live
and witness peace –
peace in your hearts and families –
and, through you,
peace will also begin
to flow in the world.

Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Let us pray:
The Angelus Prayer

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary…

V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done to me according to thy word.

Hail Mary. . .

V. And the Word was made flesh.
R. And dwelt among us.

Hail Mary. . .

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray: Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.

(Please add your own prayers here: the Magnificat, the Rosary, the Memorare…)

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
