Holy Thursday-Jesus entrusted to the Church the "banquet of his love", the Holy Eucharist, in which he gives himself. How generous, how humble, how loving.

" Good Friday". Jesus died for our sins, so that we might share in his eternal joy, love, and peace in heaven. Jesus again shows us the depth of his love!

The Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, celebrated on March 25, honors the angel Gabriel’s announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive Jesus by the Holy Spirit. Occurring nine months before Christmas, this feast marks the Incarnation, celebrating Mary’s "fiat" (Yes) and her pivotal role in salvation history.
May we like Mary, always give our Yes to God's will for us. He only wants the best for us and our loved ones.

Happy Solemnity of St Joseph.
