Acknowledgments

We wish to thank the following who helped us put together and publish this Our lady of the Annunciation Novena:

The Holy Triune God for the love, inspiration and Light to making the Novena to Our Lady of the Annunciation a joyful fulfillment

Our Lady of the Annunciation for journeying with the writers in every part of the way that brought forth a meditative Novena through her maternal intercession

St. Luke for his rich and beautiful Annunciation narrative, enabling the writers to bring depth to their prayers and reflections on how much God loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son through Mary 

Rev. Fr. Mario S. Sanchez, Our Lady of the Annunciation parish priest, for giving impetus to the wonderful realization of the Novena, and of course for his patience and trust to the Novena writers

Bro. Verny Tiamzon for the cover design, giving justice to the painter of the Annunciation scene

The painter of the Annunciation scene who beautifully depicted the Announcement from the Angel Gabriel to Mary

Ollie Abes and Susan Bernardo for their generosity of spirit in coordinating with all the writers
 
The Novena writers for their fiat to God, and for every bit of perseverance sowed – that grew roots, flowers and all – making the people of God enjoy the fruit of that collective labor:
 Finda Lacanlalay: Mary, Full of Grace (Luke 1:26-27)
 Irene Arroyo: Mary, Cause of Our Joy (Luke1:28)
