HYMN
~ALL~
Mother of Christ, our hope, our patroness,
Star of the sea, our beacon in distress,
Guide to the shores of everlasting day
God’s holy people on their pilgrim way.
Virgin, in you God made his dwelling place;
Mother of all the living, full of grace,
Blessed are you: God’s word you did believe;
“Yes” on your lips undid the “No” of Eve.
Daughter of God, who bore his holy One,
Dearest of all to Christ, your loving Son,
Show us his face, O Mother, as on earth,
Loving us all, you gave our Savior birth.

READING
MARY OF NAZARETH
LUKE 1:26-28, 31-32
The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in
Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to
a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of
David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came
to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord
is with you. You will conceive in your womb and
bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be
great, and will be called the Son of the Most High.”

AND COMFORTER OF THE AFFLICTED, COME
TO OUR ASSISTANCE, ALLELUIA!
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for you, Lord, have looked with favor on your
lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
you, the Almighty, have done great things for me
and holy is your name.
You have mercy on those who fear you,
from generation to generation.
You have shown strength with your arm
and scattered the proud in their conceit,
casting down the mighty from their thrones
and lifting up the lowly.
You have filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
You have come to the aid of your servant Israel,
to remember the promise of mercy,
the promise made to our forebears,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever.
