*📖GOSPEL*
_Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women._
*🕯A Reading from the Holy Gospel accoding to Luke 1:29-38*
The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to
a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the
virgin's name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, "Hail, full of grace! The
Lord is with you." But she was greatly troubled at what was said and
pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, "Do
not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will
conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will
be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give
him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob
forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end." But Mary said to the angel,
"How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?" And the angel said
to her in reply, "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, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived
a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called
barren; for nothing will be impossible for God." Mary said, "Behold, I am the
handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." Then
the angel departed from her.
