Novena for the Annunciation
Opening prayer:
O Word of God, who at the angel's message became flesh in the most pure womb of the Virgin Mary, come and be born anew in my heart. As you found in her a willing dwelling, prepare in me a place to receive you. Amen.
Read the meditation and offer the intention of the day.
Day 9: Mary's haste to serve
Bearing the Lord newly conceived within her, Mary rose and went in haste into the hill country to serve her cousin Elizabeth, who was with child in her old age. The first act of the Incarnate Word's presence in the world was a journey of charity, undertaken without delay. She who carried Christ could not keep Him to herself, but hurried to bring Him and His joy to others, and at her greeting the unborn John leapt for gladness.
O Mary, who carrying Christ within you hastened to serve, grant that I too, bearing your Son in my heart by grace, may rise without delay to bring his love and joy to others, forgetting myself in works of charity. Amen.
Today's intention:
That, carrying Christ within me, I may hasten to serve others.
Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Pater noster, qui es in cælis,
sanctificétur nomen tuum.
Advéniat regnum tuum.
Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie,
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris.
Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem,
sed líbera nos a malo.
Amen.

Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.
Benedícta tu in muliéribus,
et benedíctus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta María, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatóribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostræ.
Amen.

Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Closing prayer:
Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into my heart, that as I have known the Incarnation of your Son by the message of an angel, so by His Passion and Cross I may be brought to the glory of His resurrection. Through Mary's fiat, grant the grace I ask in this novena. Amen.
