The Annunciation of the Lord
Some Background The Annunciation is a day of celebration for Christians throughout the world. Many religions including the Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, the Greek Orthodox religion, and others hold the Annunciation as a very important day of religious life. This day reminds all Christians of the time when the Virgin Mary was asked by the Lord to bring into the world a Savior who would be named Jesus.

Seven Corporal Works of Mercy
In Lent it is good to be reminded of the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy. Discuss the practical ways that some of these works of mercy can be lived out . What are some works of mercy will you commit to during this time of Lent? Each person can write this commitment on a piece of coloured paper. This can be collected and placed in a container on the prayer table during Lent. It would be good to revisit this commitment at the start of next term.
