As Roman Catholics around the world celebrate the great feast of the Annunciation today, I am reminded of the visit we made on pilgrimage to the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth two years ago…

Here’s a link to some reflections and photos I posted at that time:

Today’s find: Holy rubble

And I am moved, also, today…to pray for the Christians who now live in Nazareth, and in all areas of the world where it is difficult to BE a Christian — on a feast day, or any other day of the week.

Let us remember that we are in the presence of the Holy & Merciful One.
