How To Prepare for Pope’s Consecration Of Russia/Ukraine On Feast of the Annunciation

How To Prepare for Pope’s Consecration Of Russia/Ukraine On Feast of the Annunciation

By Michelle Laque Johnson

This week, Pope Francis and the bishops of the world consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary even as the Church celebrates the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As Catholics, do we really know how to mine the spiritual treasures of this feast? EWTN’s foundress obviously knew as she chose to take the name Mother Angelica of the Annunciation. So it is fitting that two days after the consecration, EWTN viewers will also celebrate the six-year anniversary of Mother Angelica’s birth into Eternal Life! So buckle up family for a week of spiritually exciting and important television programming...

This weekend on “Lent: A Season of Grace” with Fr. Cedric Pisegna:

The fourth week of Lent invites us to make a move! Jesus’ genius was storytelling. The narrative of the Prodigal son was arguably his best. Lent is a time to make a move and go forward. There is great joy in heaven when you surrender your life to God.
