Today’s Feast - the Annunciation of the conception of Jesus and all that means for every man woman and child on our planet - almost always falls in Lent. Celebration of a conception, even one so mysterious and extraordinary, in the midst of a period focus on prayer and self-sacrifice comes as a jolt. But it should at any time in the year. This is high mystery jolting us out of any complacent predictability we may be trapped in when it comes to reading and responding to how God moves among us.
