The Evangelizing of the Theotokos

Translated strictly, the Greek name of the Feast we call the Annunciation is The Evangelizing of the Theotokos. In other words, when the Church seeks to identify the significance of this feast day, she places her emphasis less on the objective fact of the Incarnation than on the subjective experience of a woman who hears and believes the proclamation of the Gospel. Fr. Pat preached this homily on the eve of the Feast of the Annunciation, March 24, 2022.
