The Solemnity of the Annunciation celebrates the coming of the Angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary to communicate the special mission God had chosen for her in being the mother of His only son. As we celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation tomorrow, Pope Francis invites all the faithful to join him in a special prayer to consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
