I'd like for us to begin with hearing the account of the enunciation.

So Luke chapter 1, verses 26 through 38, we'll pause and then we'll pray the Hail Mary.

In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,

to a virgin betrothed to a man named

Joseph, the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And coming to her, he said,

Hail favored one, the Lord is with you. But she was greatly troubled at what was said, and pondered

what sort of greeting this might be.

Then the angel said to her,

Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.

He will be great, and will be called son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him

the throne of David, his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom

there will be no end. But Mary said to the angel, how can this be, since I have no relations with a man?

And the angel said to her in reply,

The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the most high will overshadow you.

Therefore, the child to be born will be called Holy, the Son of God.

And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age,

and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren, for nothing will be impossible for God.

Mary said, Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word. Then the angel departed from her.

Hail Mary. The Lord is blessed. The Lord is with thee.

Thus brought down, my holy.

And bless it is the fruit of God in God.
