_You have found the grace of God.  Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son;_

*🕯️A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke (1:26-38)*

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee 

named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of 

the house of David. And the virgin›s name was Mary. And he came to her and 

said, “Greetings, O favoured one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly 

troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might 

be. And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found 

favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, 

and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son 

of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father 

David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom 

there will be no end.” And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I

am a virgin?” And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon

you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore, the 

child to be born will be called holy – the Son of God. And behold, your relative 

Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month 

with her who was called barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.” 

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according 

to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
