As I understand it, since the feast of the Annunciation falls during the octave of Easter this year, the liturgical celebration will be on March 31st. Does this affect using the March 25th Annunciation date as regards the total consecration? If I wait until the 31st, then it will be the Annunciation this year only. If on the 25th it will be the right date, but it won't be on the Annunciation for this year! Arrgh! Thanks.
The date of the feast does not change, only the celebration. March 25th is still the Feast of the Annunciation, but the observance is moved.
You can still attend mass that day using the readings and chants of the day, and then privately reflect on the readings and chants of the Feast of the Annunciation. Your personal devotions can reflect on the Annunciation, perhaps adding an Easter Alleluia and prayers from the Octave.
Just a suggestion...
