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
