Epistle: Proverbs 8:22-24, 32-35
22
The Lord made me his when first he went about his work, at the birth of time, before his creation began.
23
Long, long ago, before earth was fashioned, I held my course.
24
Already I lay in the womb, when the depths were not yet in being, when no springs of water had yet broken;
32
Listen to me, then, you that are my sons, that follow, to your happiness, in the paths I shew you;
33
listen to the teaching that will make you wise, instead of turning away from it.
34
Blessed are they who listen to me, keep vigil, day by day, at my threshold, watching till I open my doors.
35
The man who wins me, wins life, drinks deep of the Lord’s favour;

26

32
He shall be great, and men will know him for the Son of the most High; the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he shall reign over the house of Jacob eternally;
33
his kingdom shall never have an end.
34
But Mary said to the angel, How can that be, since I have no knowledge of man?
35
And the angel answered her, The Holy Spirit will come upon thee, and the power of the most High will overshadow thee. Thus this holy offspring of thine shall be known for the Son of God.
36
See, moreover, how it fares with thy cousin Elizabeth; she is old, yet she too has conceived a son; she who was reproached with barrenness is now in her sixth month,
37
to prove that nothing can be impossible with God.
38
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be unto me according to thy word …
