Happy Solemnity of the Feast of the Annunciation Today
The Incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the most important mysteries of the Christian faith. It is the foundation for the certainty of all that we believe. Because Jesus is the God-Man we can trust all that He teaches and have a firm hope in all that He promised.
On the Feast of the Annunciation (March 25) and nine months later at Christmas (December 25) we go down onto our knees when we profess this beautiful doctrine of God the Son taking on a human nature and becoming the God-Man.
We kneel when we profess this doctrine in the creed at Christmas. Yes. We kneel at the words “and by the Holy Spirit was Incarnate …” at all the Christmas Eve Masses on December 24, the Midnight Mass, and all the Masses during Christmas Day on 25th. At the Feast of the Annunciation we genuflect.
This can be difficult to remember, so the following memory technique is suggested by DTBride.
Place a bulletin on your legs during the homily, so when you stand for the creed the bulletin - or whatever paper you use – will remind you that there is something special to remember, that is, to kneel or genuflect during the appropriate time at the Creed.
