On this day the eternal Father sent his angel to bring Mary the good news of our salvation. Let us turn to God and pray with confidence:
Lord, fill our hearts with your love.
You chose the Virgin Mary as the mother of your Son,
— have mercy on all who look for your gift of salvation.
Lord, fill our hearts with your love.
You sent Gabriel to give Mary your message of peace and joy,
— give to the whole world the joy of salvation and your gift of true peace.
Lord, fill our hearts with your love.
Mary gave her consent, the Holy Spirit overshadowed her, and your Word came to dwell among us,
— touch our hearts that we may welcome Christ as Mary did.
Lord, fill our hearts with your love.
You look with love on the humble, and fill the hungry with your gifts,
— raise up the downcast, help all in need, comfort and strengthen the dying.
Lord, fill our hearts with your love.
Lord our God, you alone work wonders and with you all things are possible,
— give us the fullness of salvation when you raise up the dead on the last day.
Lord, fill our hearts with your love.
