God sent
the angel Gabriel to a virgin, named Mary. The angel said,
"Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you." Mary
was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of
greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do
not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You are
to conceive and bear a son, and you are to give him the name
Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most
High, and his reign will have no end." Mary said to the
angel, "But how can this be, since I am a virgin?"
The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the
holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:26-35)
Prayer
for Peace by Pope John Paul II:
O God,
Creator of the universe, who extends Your paternal concern
over every creature and guides the events of history in the
goal of salvation, we acknowledge Your fatherly love when
You break the resistance of mankind and, in a world torn by
strife and discord, You make us ready for reconciliation.
Renew for us the wonders of Your mercy: send forth Your Spirit
that He may work in the intimacy of hearts, that enemies may
begin to dialogue, that adversaries may shake hands and peoples
may encounter one another in harmony. May all commit themselves
to the sincere search for true peace which will extinguish
all arguments, for charity which overcomes hatred, for pardon
which disarms revenge. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Hail Mary, full of grace...
Hail Mary, full of grace...
 Glory
be to the Father ....

Oh
my Jesus, forgive us our sins,
save us from the fires of hell;
lead all souls to Heaven,
especially those most in need of Your Mercy.
