The Angel of the Lord declared to Mary. R/. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit Hail Mary… V/. Behold the handmaid of the Lord. R/. Be it done unto me according to Thy word. Hail Mary… V/. The Word was made flesh. R/. And dwelt among us. Hail Mary… V/. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R/. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. 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. Wonderful, wonderful in the sight of angels, a great wonder in the eyes of faith, to see the giver of being, the generous sustainer and ruler of all that is, in the manger in swaddling clothes and with nowhere to lay his head, and yet the bright host of glory worshipping him as a great Lord. Thanks for ever and a hundred thousand thanks, while there is breath in me, that there is an object of worship and a them for a song to last forever, in my nature, tempted like the lowest of mankind, a babe, a weak, powerless, yet also the infinite, true and living God. Anne Griffith, an early 18th
century Welsh farmer’s daughter. |
