TEXT:
A virgin knelt in
prayer before her God,
Creator of the world,
eternal King:
When suddenly an angel
of the Lord appeared,
descending out of
heaven, entering to speak to her.
The
angel greeted her in wondrous awe.
"Hail, Mary, who art
full of grace," he said.
"The Lord is with thee
now and will be ever more,
for thou art chosen
from among all womankind."
And while she
pondered what his words should mean,
the angel said to her,
"Be not afraid,
thou, Mary, shalt
conceive and bear to us a Son,
and they shall call him
Jesus, Christ, the Lord, Emanuel!"
