The Angel Gabriel was sent by God to 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 having entered, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women. But thou, O Lord, have mercy on us. Ry. Thanks be to God. Ry. The Angel Gabriel was sent to the Virgin Mary, espoused to Joseph, to announce to her the divine message: but the light of his countenance affrighted the sacred Virgin. Do not fear, Mary; thou hast found grace with the Lord. Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bring forth one who shall be called the Son of the Most High. V. The Lord God shall give him the throne of his father David, and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever.* Behold. y. Pray, sir, a blessing. The Blessing.

But thou, O Lord, have mercy on us. lus ei: Ne tímeas, María; invenísti enim grátiam apud Deum. Ecce concípies in útero, et paries filium, et vocábis nomen ejus Jesum.

Tu autem, Domine, miserere nostri. R. Deo grátias. Ry. Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum. * Spíritus Sanctus supervéniet in te, et virtus Altíssimi obumbrábit tibi: quod enim ex te nascétur sanctum, vocábitur Fílius Dei. V. Quómodo fiet istud, quóniam virum non cognósco? Et respóndens Angelus dixit ei: *Spíritus Sanctus supervéniet, &c. V. Jube, domne, &c. Benedictio. Sancta Dei Genitrix sit nobis auxiliátrix. Ry. Amen. Ry. Thanks be to God. R. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
