Gospel Reading: Luke 1:36-38 https://www.catholic.org/news/national/story.php?id=54667 "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." (Luke 1:38) Pray the Angelus, or a prayer of your choosing, for the courage to place your trust in God's providence as did the Blessed Virgin Mary.* *Taken from the 2019 Lenten Daily Devotional from the Basilica of The National Shrine of The Immaculate Conception.

Today's Theme Thursday word is chosen and here is the picture that I took :-)

V.   The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. R.   And she conceived of the Holy Spirit. Hail Mary ,   etc. V.   Behold the handmaid of the Lord, R.   Be it done unto me according to Thy word. Hail Mary ,   etc. V.   And the Word was made flesh, R.   And dwelt amongst us. Hail Mary ,   etc. V.   Pray for   us, O most holy Mother of God, R.   That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray. Pour forth, we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts; that, as we have known the Incarnation of Christ Thy Son by the message of an Angel, so by His Passion and Cross we may be brought to the glory of the Resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Immaculate Mary, thy praises we sing; Who reignest in splendor with Jesus our King. Ave, ave, ave, Maria! Ave, ave, Maria!  In heaven, the blessed thy glory proclaim; On earth we, thy children, invoke thy fair name. Ave, ave, ave, Maria! Ave, ave, Maria!  We pray for God's glory; may His kingdom come; We pray for His vicar, our father, and Rome. Ave, ave, ave, Maria! Ave, ave, Maria!  We pray for our Mother, the Church upon earth, And bless, dearest Lady, the land of our birth. Ave, ave, ave, Maria! Ave, ave, Maria!
