The Annunciation Of The BVM:

 
COLLECT:
DEUS, qui de beatæ Mariæ Virginis 
utero Verbum tuum, Angelo nuntiante, carnem suscipere voluisti; 
præsta supplicibus tuis; ut, qui vere 
eam Genitricem Dei credimus, ejus 
apud te intercessionibus adjuvemur. 
Per eumdem Dominum.

O God, who didst will that Thy Word 
should take flesh, at the message of an 
Angel, in the womb of the Blessed Virgin 
Mary, grant to Thy suppliant people, that 
we who believe her to be truly the Mother 
of God, may be helped by her intercession 
with Thee. Through the same our Lord. 

  GOSPEL:Luke 1. 26-28
IN illo tempore: Missus est Angelus 
Gabriel a Deo in civitatem Galilææ, 
cui nomen Nazareth, ad Virginem 
desponsatam viro, cui nomen erat 
Joseph, de domo David, et nomen 
Virginis Maria. Et ingressus Angelus 
ad eam, dixit: Ave gratia plena: Dominus tecum: benedicta tu in mulieribus. Quæ cum audisset, turbata est 
in sermone ejus: et cogitabat, qualis 
esset ista salutatio. Et ait Angelus ei: 
Ne timeas, Maria, invenisti enim 
gratiam apud Deum: ecce concipies 
in utero, et paries filium, et vocabis 
nomen ejus Jesum. Hie erit magnus, 
et Filius Altissimi vocabitur, et dabit 
illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris ejus: et regnabit in domo Jacob 
in æternum, et regni ejus non erit 
finis. Dixit autem Maria ad Angelum: Quomodo fiet istud, quoniam 
virum non cognosco? Et respondens Angelus, dixit ei: Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te, et virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi. Ideoque et 
quod nascetur ex te Sanctum, vocabitur Filius Dei. Et ecce Elisabeth 
cognata tua, et ipsa concepit filium 
in senectute sua: et hie mensis sextus est illi, quæ vocatur sterilis: quia 
non erit impossible apud Deum 
omne verbum. Dixit autem Maria: 
Ecce ancilla Domini, fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. 

At that time the Angel Gabriel was sent 
from God into a city of Galilee, called 
Nazareth, to a virgin, espoused to a man 
whose name was Joseph, of the house of 
David, and the virgin's name was Mary. 
And the Angel being come in, said unto 
her: Hail, full of grace: the Lord is with 
thee: Blessed art thou among women. 
Who having heard, was troubled at his 
saying: and thought within herself what 
manner of salutation this should be. And 
the Angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for 
thou hast found grace with God: behold 
thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt 
bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His 
Name Jesus. 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, and of His 
kingdom there shall be no end. And Mary 
said to the Angel: How shall this be done, 
because I know not man? 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. 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: because no word shall 
be impossible with God. And Mary said: 
Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it 
done to me according to thy word
