First Mystery: The Annunciation
Offering
We offer thee, O Lord Jesus, this first decade in honor of Thy Incarnation
and we ask of Thee, through this mystery and through the intercession of Thy
most Holy Mother, a profound humility.

And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God
into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose
name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was

kingdom there shall be no end."

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.
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fires of hell.
Lead all souls to heaven, and help especially those most in need of
Thy mercy.
Come, Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of
the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Thy well beloved Spouse.
Grace of the mystery of the Incarnation come dwon into my soul and make it truly humble.
