Anunciation.

All as in the Office of our Saviour, except.

1. Antiph. To day the Archangel Gabri••••l was sent from God to the Virgin Mary; and en∣tring her litle chamber humbly presented Her this honourable salutation; Hail ful of grace, our Lord is with thee, Blessed art thou among Women.

2. Antiph. To day the B. Virgin Mother gave her ••••••st consent to that glorious Embassy, ••••Behold the Handmaid of our Lord, be it to me according to thy word.

3. Antiph. To day the H. Ghost came upon Her, and the power of the most High oversha∣dow'd her; and untoucht of man, she conceiv'd in her pure Womb the Son of God.

Prayer.

O God, who, by the mouth of the Arch∣angel Gabriel didst so graciously woo humble Handmaid, Mary, that her Vir∣gin-Womb immediately conceiv'd the WORD, ••••ested thy eternal Son with our humanity! Grant us, we humbly beseech Thee, with such devout admiration to celebrate the memory of this highest Mystery, as may feed and increase thy charity, begotten in our harts by thy Spi∣rit; and ripen it, to bring us forth partakers of his Divinity, who with Thee and the same H. Ghost lives and reigns one God world with∣out end, Amen.
