The Annunciation

Fruit: Humility

Lord, I ask You for the courage to follow Your Will no matter how challenging it may seem. Like Mary, I want to put my faith in Your divine plan because it ultimately leads me to Your heavenly kingdom.

1

Mother Mary, please guide those who are contemplating their life’s vocation.
2

Mother Mary, I pray for increased faith in God’s plan for me even when confronted with difficulties and disappointments.
3

Mother Mary, I pray for expecting mothers, especially those with unplanned pregnancies (like Yours) and those who are scared of their future.
4

Mother Mary, I pray for those who are scared about what God has planned for them; that they find the strength to believe in the goodness of His plans.
5

Mother Mary, I ask You to instill in me a sense of joy when I follow the path God sets before me.
6

Mother Mary, remind me that God never gives me a challenge I cannot handle (especially with Your intercession).
7

Lord, save me from the temptation of taking a seemingly easier path in life that doesn't bring me closer to God's grace.
8

Mother Mary, lovingly nudge those who have swayed from God's path back to His truth.
9

Mother Mary, guide parents everywhere to lead their children closer to God's grace through prayer, education, and as an example of living the faith.
10

Mother Mary, guide priests and nuns to faithfully live their often difficult vocations.

In the sixth month, 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. (Luke 1:26-27)
2

And coming to Her, he said, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with You.” (Luke 1:28)
3

But She was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. (Luke 1:29)
4

Then the angel said to Her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for You have found favor with God.” (Luke 1:30)
5

“Behold, You will conceive in Your womb and bear a son, and You shall name him Jesus.” (Luke 1:30)
6

“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.” (Luke 1:31)
7

“And He will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (Luke 1:31)
8

But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?” (Luke 1:34)
9

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.” (Luke 1:35)
10

Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to Your word.” (Luke 1:38)
