Sacred Scripture

Lk 1:26-38 "And in the sixth month, 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 you: blessed are
you among women. Who having heard, was troubled at
his saying and thought with herself what manner of
salutation this should be.
Sacred Scripture

And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for you have
found grace with God. Behold you shall conceive in
your womb and shall bring forth a son: and you shall
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.
Sacred Scripture

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 you and the power of the Most
High shall overshadow you. And therefore also the Holy which
shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God. And
behold your cousin Elizabeth, she also has 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 your word. And the angel departed from her."
