Ecce Ancilla

The AnnunciationFra Angelico

On this wonderful day, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, two beautiful prayers must be shared:

The Magnificat

“My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid; for behold henceforth all generations will call me blessed because He Who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name; and His Mercy is from generation to generation to those who fear Him. He has shown might with His Arm, He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He has put down the mighty from their thrones and has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has given help to Israel, His servant, mindful of His mercy - even as He Spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.” (Luke 1:46-55)

The Nine Month Impossible Novena can be found at Studeo.

Finally, it is also a great day to read The Magnificat: Mary's Own Prayer by Fr. Hardon.

May we always say, "Yes" to God and do His will.
