As we come together in this sacred space dedicated to the Annunciation, the words and melodies of the psalmist come to mind: “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his mercy endures forever. Let Israel say: His mercy endures forever. Let the house of Aaron say: His mercy endures forever. Let those who fear the Lord say: His mercy endures forever” (Psalm 118). Our celebration today invites us to raise our own voices and exclaim: “God’s mercy endures forever!”

Καθώς εἴμαστε συναθροισμένοι σ᾽ αὐτό τόν ἱερό τόπο, τόν ἀφιερωμένο στόν Εὐαγγελισμό τῆς Παναγίας μας, ἔρχονται στή σκέψη μου τά λόγια τοῦ Ψαλμωδοῦ: «Ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἀγαθός, ὅτι εἰς τόν αἰῶνα τό ἔλεος αὐτοῦ. Εἰπάτω δή οἶκος Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἀγαθός, ὅτι εἰς τόν αἰῶνα τό ἔλεος αὐτοῦ. Εἰπάτω δή οἶκος Ἀαρών, ὅτι ἀγαθός, ὅτι εἰς τόν αἰῶνα τό ἔλεος αὐτοῦ» (Ψαλτ. 117, 1-3). Ὁ σημερινός ἑορτασμός μᾶς καλεῖ νά ὑψώσουμε τίς φωνές μας καί νά διακηρύξουμε: «ὅτι εἰς τόν αἰῶνα τό ἔλεος αὐτοῦ».
