The Annunciation Luke 1: 26-38
26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a
city of Galilee, called Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose
name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the
Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 Who having heard,
was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of
salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary,
for thou hast found grace with God.
31 Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son;
and thou shalt call his name Jesus. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called
the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne
of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 And Mary said to the
angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man? 35 And the angel
answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power
of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy
which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in
her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
37 Because no word shall be impossible with God. 38 And Mary said:
Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy
word. And the angel departed from her.
FRUIT OF THE MYSTERY: HUMILTY
