This is the Greatest of All Days in the History of the World.
It was on March 25 that Adam and Eve were created. It was on March 25 that Our Lord was conceived in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was on March 25 that Jesus died on the Cross for us, on Mount Calvary. All these events occurred in the simple innocence and charm of God’s liturgical love at three o’clock in the afternoon. Saint John the Baptist was beheaded on March 25, one year before the death of Our Lord. By way of title, March 25 is call the Feast of the Annunciation. To show how much Our Lady still lives this day in the calendar of her affection and remembrance, it was on March 25, 1858, that the Blessed Virgin Mary said to Marie Bernadette at Lourdes, “I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION”.
Saint Dismas (33)
He was the penitent thief crucified with Jesus. He died shortly after Our Lord, when his legs were broken by the Roman soldiers. Dismas said to Jesus, while hanging beside Him on the Cross, “Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom.” Jesus replied to Dismas, “Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with Me in paradise.” He is also commemorated on October 13.
