The Annunciation

We are nearing the end of the school year and are days seem packed. Currently, we are preparing for our music program for next Monday. When we were getting ready to begin our classroom practice, we were visited by one of our parish priest Fr. G. The children love when he comes to visit, he is great at taking interest in what they are doing and is usually very entertaining and funny. Today to talk about Mary, since May is the month of Mary and how you can use the Gospel according to Luke to get the prayer, "Hail Mary."

During the lesson, he started off with something the children would be familiar with, the Glorious Mysteries. He asked the children, "What is the first Glorious Mystery?"

Benedict, "The Annunciation."

"Who here can tell me what word we can derive from the annunciation?"

"Annunciate" said Benedict.

"A nun," says Thomas.

Clearly this is not what Fr. G. was expecting, "Or we could say announce." He did think it was funny and gave a little chuckle.
