The
Annunciation of the Virgin Mary
"Today
marks the crowning of our salvation and the revelation of the mystery before all
ages. For the Son of God becomes the son of the Virgin, and Gabriel proclaims
the grace. Wherefore, we also cry out with him,
"Hail, O
full of grace, the Lord is with you.""
Wishing you the
Blessings of our Lord on this feast of the Annunciation

Lazarus Saturday
O Lord, wishing to see the tomb of Lazarus - for You
were soon to dwell by Your own choice within a tomb - You asked, "Where have you
laid him?" And learning that which was already known to You, You called to him
whom You loved, "Lazarus, come forth." And he who was without breath obeyed the
One Who gave him breath, the Savior of our souls.
O Lord, wishing to give Your disciples an assurance of
Your Resurrection from the dead, You came to the tomb of Lazarus and called to
him by name. Then was hell despoiled, and it released the one that had been dead
four days, as he called upon You, "O blessed Lord, glory to You!"

Palm Sunday
"Giving us before Your Passion an
assurance of the general resurrection, You have raised Lazarus from the dead, O
Christ our God. Therefore, like the children, we also carry tokens of victory,
and cry to Thee, the Conqueror of death: Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He
that comes in the name of the Lord!"
Wishing you a
blessed Holy Week!
