1
And on the second day, while Mary was at the fountain to fill her pitcher, the angel of the Lord appeared to her, saying: Blessed are you, Mary; for in your womb you have prepared an habitation for the Lord.
2
For, lo, the light from heaven shall come and dwell in you, and by means of you will shine over the whole world. Again, on the third day, while she was working at the purple with her fingers, there entered a young man of ineffable beauty.
3
And when Mary saw him, she exceedingly feared and trembled. And he said to her:
4
Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Luke 1:28 And when she heard these words, she trembled, and was exceedingly afraid.
5
Then the angel of the Lord added: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favour with God:
6
Behold, you shall conceive in your womb, and shall bring forth a King, who fills not only the earth, but the heaven, and who reigns from generation to generation.
