But you have fashioned a body for me. - 6 Holocausts for sin were not pleasing to you. - 7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I draw near.’ At the head of the book, it has been written of me that I should do your will, O God.” - 8 In the above, by saying, “Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin, you did not want, nor are those things pleasing to you, which are offered according to the law; - 9 then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,’” he takes away the first, so that he may establish what follows. - 10 For by this will, we have been sanctified, through the one time oblation of the body of Jesus Christ.

The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.” - 29 And when she had heard this, she was disturbed by his words, and she considered what kind of greeting this might be. - 30 And the Angel said to her: “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found grace with God. - 31 Behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and you shall bear a son, and you shall call his name: JESUS. - 32 He will be great, and he will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father. And he will reign in the house of Jacob for eternity. - 33 And his kingdom shall have no end.” - 34 Then Mary said to the Angel, “How shall this be done, since I do not know man?” - 35 And in response, the Angel said to her: “The Holy Spirit will pass over you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. And because of this also, the Holy One who will be born of you shall be called the Son of God. - 36 And behold, your cousin Elizabeth has herself also conceived a son, in her old age. And this is the sixth month for her who is called barren. - 37 For no word will be impossible with God.” - 38 Then Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be done to me according to your word.” And the Angel departed from her.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
