ISAIAH 6:1-4 1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne,

high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple. 2 Seraphs

were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with two they

covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and with

two they flew. 3 And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy

is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory."

4 The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who

called, and the house filled with smoke.

LUKE 1:26-45 26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in

Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name

was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28

And he came to her and said, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is

with you." 29 But she was much perplexed by his words and

pondered what sort of greeting this might be. 30 The angel said to her,

"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And

now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will

name him Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the

Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his

ancestor David. 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and

of his kingdom there will be no end." 34 Mary said to the angel,

"How can this be, since I am a virgin?" 35 The angel said to her,

"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High

will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he

will be called Son of God. 36 And now, your relative Elizabeth in her

old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her

who was said to be barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with

God." 38 Then Mary said, "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it

be with me according to your word." Then the angel departed from

her. 39 In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean

town in the hill country, 40 where she entered the house of Zechariah

and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the

child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy

Spirit 42 and exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among

women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43 And why has this

happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? 44 For as

soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb

leaped for joy.45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be

a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord."
