In March, the Church, designates two
special days. On March 19, the Church
commemorates (meaning to remember with
honor) carpenter
Joseph of
Nazareth,
the Guardian of our Lord,
Here is the prayer of the day for March
19.
0
god, who from the family of your servant
David raised up Joseph to be the
guardian of your incarnate Son and
husband of his mother Mary. Give us
grace to imitate his uprightness of life
and his obedience to your commands.
This
we ask in Jesus' holy name. Amen
.

On March 25, the Church celebrates the
Feast of the
Annunciation of our
Lord.
We give thanks as the angel came to Mary and revealed she would give
birth to the Savior of the world. Here
is the prayer of the day for this feast.
Pour
your grace into our hearts;
0
Lord, that
we
who have known the incarnation of
your Son Jesus Christ, announced by an
angel to the virgin Mary, may by his
cross and passion be brought to the
glory of his resurrection; who lives and
reigns with you, in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
