V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
R. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit. [Recite the Hail Mary]
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to Thy word. [Recite the Hail Mary]
V. And the Word was made flesh.
R. And dwelt among us. [Recite the Hail Mary]
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
LET US PRAY:
Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts;
that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy 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.
PROMISE:
"Whoever shall devoutly recall to me the joy I felt upon uttering the words,
"Behold the handmaid of the Lord," I will most truly show him that I am
his Mother, and unfailingly, I will succor him."
