With Mary

The seven joys of Mary

1. The Annunciation

O Blessed Virgin, temple of the Trinity, having seen your humility and purity, the God of goodness and forgiveness sent a Messenger to tell you that He wanted to be born of you. The Angel greeted you; you asked how the miracle would be performed, the Angel explained it to you; you agreed and the King of glory was incarnated in you.

By this joy, O Mary, we pray to you that you teach us that through holy communion, Jesus lives in me as He once lived in you.
