Delay and Pray

Easter, Feasting, and The Annunciation


Listen Later

Happy Easter! Hallelujah! Lent is over and the Easter season has arrived! This was seriously the busiest, but most joyful Lent for me. I had a perfectly imperfect Lent, filled with a little hunger, making some extra physical space for the Holy Spirit to do His work. And He did it. 

Be assured of this - even if you didn't do everything perfectly. Perfect doesn't matter with Christ. Intention counts - especially if you are out of your normal pattern. 

And then Easter comes - so we feast in celebration of the Lord's resurrection to new life. I am feasting on lots of things other than food this Easter Octave! I am feasting this year on the fact that my book is done and will be on sale this month! How exciting is that? Can you feast on something other than food? You bet! 

The Feast of the Annunciation was moved to Monday, April 8th this year. This is a Divine appointment that the Feast of the Annunciation had to be moved to the date of the Total Eclipse of the Sun and my consecration date to Jesus, through Mary. Oh my! I am in awe of this. 

In this episode, I recount my experience of Lent including my preparation for Marian consecration, and share all the ways I will be feasting this Easter season, and how you can feast and celebrate too.
