THE HANDMAID OF GOD
Reading Isaiah
7:10-14 The
maiden is with child Universalis
The Lord spoke
to Ahaz and said, ‘Ask the Lord your God for a sign for yourself coming either
from the depths of Sheol or from the heights above.’ ‘No,’ Ahaz answered ‘I
will not put the Lord to the test.’
Then
Isaiah said: ‘Listen now,
House of David: are you not
satisfied with trying the patience of men without trying
the patience of my God, too? The Lord
himself, therefore, will give you a
sign. It is this: the
maiden is with child and will soon
give birth to a son whom she will
call Immanuel, a name which
means “God-is-with-us.”’
Gospel Luke
:26-38 'I am the
handmaid of the Lord' CDR
The angel
Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin
betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name
was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, so highly favoured! The Lord is
with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this
greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you
have won God’s favour. Listen! You are to conceive and bear a son, and you must
name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The
Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the
House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the
angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I am a virgin?’ ‘The Holy Spirit
will come upon you’ the angel answered ‘and the power of the Most High will
cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son
of God. Know this too: your kinswoman Elizabeth has, in her old age, herself
conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month,
for nothing is impossible to God.’ ‘I am the handmaid of the Lord,’ said Mary
‘let what you have said be done to me.’ And the angel left her.
Mighty God, unrivalled Father, you form
the light. You are creator of heavens. You formed the earth and made it firm. God
of integrity, our savior. May we follow the example of our dearest Blessed
Virgin Mary, your daughter, our Mother. Make us meek, make us lowly, make us
humble. May we be willing to accept your will in our lives, may your will be
done. Come Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour, come our Immanuel. Come our Redeemer.
Pray the Holy Rosary. Lord Jesus I trust
in you. Saint Joseph pray for us. God’s Holy Angels and Saints pray for us. Angel
Gabriel pray for us. Our Guardian Angels pray for us.
