Let us Pray.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who hast said: Ask, and ye shall receive; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: mercifully attend to our supplications, and grant us the gift of Thy divine charity, that we may ever love Thee with our whole hearts, and never desist from Thy praise.
Give us, O Lord, a perpetual fear and love of Thy holy name, for Thou never ceasest to direct and govern by Thy grace those whom Thou instructest in the solidity or Thy love: Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.
The Angelus.
The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.
Behold the handmaid of the Lord, Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
And the Word was made flesh, And dwelt among us.
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Prayer.
POUR forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, that we unto 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 the resurrection, through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
