Celebrating the #Solemnity of the #Annunciation of the Lord The Church never asks us to simply commemorate something which happened a long time ago. There is always a sense of the eternal present in our feasts, liturgy and #prayer. So, today we are not just commemorating the annunciation of the angel Gabriel to Mary. We read it as a reminder that God is calling us, too, to be bearers of the living Jesus in our own moment of history. We are encouraged by Mary’s example of being able to say ‘Yes’ to God’s invitation without having all the answers. That must have taken great trust and great open-heartedness. ... 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.

Mary is not only the bridge joining us to God; she is more. She is the road that God travelled to reach us, and the road that we must travel in order to reach him. #AnnunciationOfTheLord https://www.instagram.com/p/CM190wlBXfXR6ou4NIM8baVdImS9UVvYz-sM-80/?igshid=1edcho6uja98q

#MorningPrayer(Lauds)

If this is the first Hour that you are reciting today, you should precede it with the Invitatory Psalm.

#INTRODUCTION

O God, come to our aid.

O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

#Hymn

Mary Immaculate, star of the morning,

Chosen before the creation began,

Chosen to bring in the light of thy dawning,

Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.

Here, in this world of both shadow and sadness

Veiling thy splendour, thy course hast thou run:

Now thou art throned in all glory and gladness,

Crowned by the hand of thy Saviour and Son.

Sinners, we worship thy sinless perfection;

Fallen and weak, for thy pity we plead:

Grant us the shield of thy sov’reign protection,

Measure thine aid by the depth of our need.

Bend from thy throne at the voice of our crying,

Bend to this earth which thy footsteps have trod:

Stretch out thine arms to us, living and dying,

Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.

#Psalm62(63)

Thirsting for God

The angel Gabriel was sent to the Virgin Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph.

O God, you are my God, I watch for you from the dawn.

My soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you.

I came to your sanctuary,

as one in a parched and waterless land,

so that I could see your might and your glory.

My lips will praise you, for your mercy is better than life itself.

Thus I will bless you throughout my life,

and raise my hands in prayer to your name;

my soul will be filled as if by rich food,

and my mouth will sing your praises and rejoice.

I will remember you as I lie in bed,

I will think of you in the morning,

for you have been my helper,

and I will take joy in the protection of your wings.

My soul clings to you; your right hand raises me up.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

The angel Gabriel was sent to the Virgin Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph.

#Psalm149

The saints rejoice

Through her word the Virgin conceived; she remained a virgin; as a virgin she gave birth to the Saviour.

Sing a new song to the Lord,

his praise in the assembly of the faithful.

Let Israel rejoice in its maker,

and the sons of Zion delight in their king.

Let them praise his name with dancing,

sing to him with timbrel and lyre,

for the Lord’s favour is upon his people,

and he will honour the humble with victory.

Let the faithful celebrate his glory,

rejoice even in their beds,

the praise of God in their throats;

and swords ready in their hands,

to exact vengeance upon the nations,

impose punishment on the peoples,

to bind their kings in fetters

and their nobles in manacles of iron,

to carry out the sentence that has been passed:

this is the glory prepared for all his faithful.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

Through her word the Virgin conceived; she remained a virgin; as a virgin she gave birth to the Saviour.

#ShortReading

#Philippians2:6-7 ©

Jesus Christ’s state was divine, yet he did not cling to his equality with God but emptied himself to assume the condition of a slave and the form of a man; and he became as men are.

#ShortResponsory

Hail Mary, full of grace: the Lord is with you.

– Hail Mary, full of grace: the Lord is with you.

You are most blessed of all women and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

– Hail Mary, full of grace: the Lord is with you.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

– Hail Mary, full of grace: the Lord is with you.

#Canticle #Benedictus

The Messiah and his forerunner

God loved us so much that he sent his own Son in a mortal nature like ours.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,

for he has come to his people and brought about their redemption.

He has raised up the sign of salvation

in the house of his servant David,

as he promised through the mouth of the holy ones,

his prophets through the ages:

to rescue us from our enemies

and all who hate us,

to take pity on our fathers,

to remember his holy covenant

and the oath he swore to Abraham our father,

that he would give himself to us,

that we could serve him without fear

– freed from the hands of our enemies –

in uprightness and holiness before him,

for all of our days.

And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High:

for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his path,

to let his people know their salvation,

so that their sins may be forgiven.

Through the bottomless mercy of our God,

one born on high will visit us

to give light to those who walk in darkness,

who live in the shadow of death;

to lead our feet in the path of peace.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.

God loved us so much that he sent his own Son in a mortal nature like ours.

#Prayersandintercessions

Today we celebrate the beginning of our salvation in the #AnnunciationoftheLord, and full of joy we pray:

– Holy Mother of God, intercede for us.

Celebrating the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother and Teacher in the Spirit The Carmelite brothers and sisters, both those of the ancient observance and those of the reform of St. Teresa of Jesus (d. 1582), have at all times been zealous in spreading far and wide the love of prayer, the desire for evangelical perfection, and devotion to the Mother of Christ. Their special devotion is to the Blessed Virgin under the title of "Our Lady of Mount Carmel": as they make their journey to the "holy mountain, which is Christ" (OP), she cherishes them as a loving mother, protects them as a sure patroness, and accompanies them as a faithful sister. The Carmelites, though they are assiduous in meditating on the totality of the mystery of the Blessed Virgin Mary, are particularly devoted to contemplation of Our Lady intent on prayer, or leading her hidden life, or treasuring the words of the Lord in her heart, or doing her works of charity. Our Lady has always been known by the Carmelite brothers and sisters as "mother and teacher in the Spirit" because she was a perfect disciple of Christ and "is still a mother, continuing to give [God] children.... encouraging them by her love, and drawing them by her example to pursue perfect charity" (Pref).
