The angel Gabriel was sent from God
to a town of Galilee called Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph,
of the house of David,
and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said,
“Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”
But she was greatly troubled at what was said
and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
Then the angel said to her,
“Do not be afraid, Mary,
for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son,
and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father,
and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever,
and of his Kingdom there will be no end.”
But Mary said to the angel,
“How can this be,
since I have no relations with a man?”
And the angel said to her in reply,
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Therefore the child to be born
will be called holy, the Son of God.
And behold, Elizabeth, your relative,
has also conceived a son in her old age,
and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren;
for nothing will be impossible for God.”
Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to your word.”
Then the angel departed from her.

Hail Mary full of grace, the lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen!
Just would like to share this short poem in Tagalog that I composed for our dear Mama Mary!
O Birheng Maria, Pinakamamahal naming Ina;
Kawangis mo ay kabutihan at hangad mo ay Kapayapaan.
Simbolo ka ng Pagmamahal kagaya nang aming Inang syang lumuwal;
Sa kanyang mga anak na iginapang upang Mapabuti ang Kalagayan.
Pinagpala ka sa lahat ng babae o mahal naming Inang Maria, Mahal na Mahal ka namin sa twitwina;
Pagibig mo sa amin ay Wagas at Dalisay; Habang kami'y nabubuhay ikaw ang kaagapay.
Sa Mundong ito Inang Maria, Ikaw ay Sandalan sa lahat ng aming pangangailangan,
Sanay huwag kaming bitiwan hanggang sa Kamatayan.
Mahal naming Ina O Birheng Maria.
Ikaw ay Pagasa at aming Tagapagsalba. Sa iyong Mahal na Anak na si Hesus, kami'y ipanalangin,upang pagpalain.
O Ave Maria!
