ANUNCIATION VISITATION NATIVITY

 INSPIRED WORD
In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s
pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to
Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin
pledged to be married to a man named
Joseph, a descendant of David. The
Luke 1: 26-28 virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went
to her and said, “Hail, full of grace! The
Lord is with you.”
 INSPIRED WORD
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and
wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But
the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you
have found favor with God. You will conceive and
give birth to a son, and you are to call him
Luke 1: 29-33 Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son
of the Most High. The Lord God will give him
the throne of his father David, and he will reign
over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom
will never end.”
INSPIRED WORD

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel,

“since I am a virgin?”

Luke 1:34-35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will

come on you, and the power of the Most
High will overshadow you. So the holy one
to be born will be called[a] the Son of God.
 INSPIRED WORD

Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a

child in her old age, and she who was said to be
unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no
word from God will ever fail.”
Luke 1: 36-38
“I am the handmaid of the Lord” Mary
answered. “May it be done unto me according
to your word.” Then the angel left her.
