PRAYER

O God, you called Mary to be the mother of Jesus and the mother of our salvation.  Let the example of her fidelity inspire us to open ourselves to the fullness of your grace, that we, too, may bear your Christ to the world.  We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ who lives with you & the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.

THE ANGELUS

RBe it done unto me according to your word.

Pour forth, we beg you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts: that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ your Son was made known by the message of an Angel, may by His Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of His Resurrection.  Through the same Christ our Lord.  Amen.
