1st Reading – Genesis 3:9-15, 20
9 After Adam, had eaten of the tree, the Lord God called him, and said to him: Where are you?
10 And he said: I heard your voice in paradise; and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.
11 And he said to him: And who has told you that you were naked, but that you have eaten of the tree whereof I commanded you that you shouldn’t eat?
12 And Adam said: The woman, whom you gave me to be my companion, gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the Lord God said to the woman: Why have you done this? And she answered: The serpent deceived me, and I did eat.
14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this thing, you are cursed among all cattle, and beasts of the earth. Upon your breast shall you go, and earth shall you eat all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmities between you and the woman, and your seed and her seed: she shall crush your head, and you shall lie in wait for her heel.
20 And Adam called the name of his wife Eve: because she was the mother of all the living.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with spiritual blessings in heavenly places, in Christ:

5 Who has predestinated us unto the adoption of children through Jesus Christ unto himself: according to the purpose of his will:
6 Unto the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he has graced us in his beloved son.

12 That we may be unto the praise of his glory, we who before hoped Christ.

Gospel – Luke 1:26-38
26 And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
28 And coming to her, the angel said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women.
29 Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for you have found grace with God.
31 Behold you shall conceive in your womb, and shall bring forth a son; and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
33 And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
35 And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the most High shall overshadow you. And therefore also the Holy who shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God.
36 And behold your cousin Elizabeth, she also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren:
37 Because no word shall be impossible with God.
38 And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her.
