“The first mystery of Jesus Christ, the most hidden, the most exalted, the least known.” – (St. Louis de Montfort’s True Devotion: 248 )
If one has made the Act of Total Consecration, and does not have devotion to this Feast day, then that person … simply, did not make the Act of Total Consecration according to St. Louis de Montfort. It is impossible to do one, without the other! The Feast of the Annunciation, or as St. Louis de Montfort called it, the Feast of the Incarnation, is not a feast day of Our Lady. Oh yes, she is critical in the events we celebrate. However, the feast, is actually a feast honoring Our Lord. For some, it is the greatest of all the Mysteries, the Word becoming Flesh. There is a Marian aspect to it, of course. But it is the day the Lord begins to reveal Himself to the world. But the world will not see Him yet. The world will see Mary.
When we meditate on this Mystery, out of which all the other Mysteries spring from, what we are looking to learn is the way of Jesus Christ, to see the goodness of Jesus Christ. What we desire to know and meet is the Glory of Jesus Christ. But we can not seek this and desire this, without Mary. The more we peer at Our Lady, the more our focus will be on Christ. Jesus does things perfectly. And His way is Through Mary, that He decides to save us all. What a remarkable Mystery!
How do we meditate on this Mystery? This first Spiritual Insight audio contains the Rosary said at the most recent Feast of the Annunciation, and includes the reflections entirely on this one Mystery. Join us in saying the Holy Rosary, and meditating on this Mystery.
