The Annunciation - (transferred from 3/25)

Pour your grace into our hearts, O Lord; that we who have known the incarnation of your Son Jesus Christ, announced by an angel to the Virgin Mary, may by his cross and passion be brought unto the glory of his resurrection; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
(BCP, LBW, ELW)

7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come;
   in the scroll of the book it is written of me:
8 I delight to do your will, O my God;
   your law is within my heart.”
9 I have told the glad news of deliverance[b]
   in the great congregation;
   behold, I have not restrained my lips,
   as you know, O Lord.
10 I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
   I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
   I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
   from the great congregation.
11 As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain
   your mercy from me;
   your steadfast love and your faithfulness will
   ever preserve me!
Psalm 40 – English Standard Version
