To Our Lady of the Annunciation

May all generations proclaim you blessed, O Mary.
You believed the Archangel Gabriel, and in you were fulfilled all the great things that he had announced to you.
My soul and my entire being praise you, O Mary.
You believed in the Incarnation of the Son of God in your virginal womb, and you became the Mother of God.
Then the happiest day in the history of the world dawned. Humanity received the Divine Master, the sole eternal Priest, the Host of reparation, the universal King.
Faith is a gift of God and the root of every good. O Mary, obtain for us, too, a lively, firm and active faith—faith that saves and produces saints, faith in the Church, in the Gospel, in eternal life.

May we meditate on the words of your blessed Son, as you preserved them in your heart and devoutly meditated on them.
May the Gospel be preached to everyone. May it be docilely accepted.
May all become, in Jesus Christ, children of God. Amen.
