恭讀聖路加福音 1:46-56

瑪利亞遂說：「我的靈魂頌揚上主，我的心神歡躍於天主，我的救主，因為他垂顧了他婢女的卑微；今後萬世萬代都要稱我有福；因為全能在我身上行了大事，他的名字是聖的，他的仁慈世世代代於無窮世，賜與敬畏他的人。他伸出了手臂施展大能，驅散那些心高氣傲的人。他從高座上推下權勢者，卻舉揚了卑微貧困的人。他曾使饑餓者飽饗美物，反使那富有者空手而去。他曾回憶起自己的仁慈，扶助了他的僕人以色列；正如他向我們的祖先所說過的恩許，施恩於亞巴郎和他的子孫，直到永遠。」瑪利亞同依撒伯爾住了三個月左右，就回本家去了。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:46-56

46 And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden. For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed; 49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is on those who fear him from generation to generation. 51 He has shown strength with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, 52 he has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree; 53 he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away. 54 He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55 as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his posterity for ever.” 56 And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her home.

恭讀聖路加福音 1:39-45

瑪利亞就在那幾日起身，急速往山區去，到了猶大的一座城。她進了匝加利亞的家，就給依撒伯爾請安。依撒伯爾一聽到瑪利亞請安，胎兒就在她的腹中歡躍。依撒伯爾遂充滿了聖神，大聲呼喊說：「在女人中你是蒙祝福的，你的胎兒也是蒙祝福的。我主的母親駕臨我這裡，這是我那裡得來的呢？看，你請安的聲音一入我耳，胎兒就在我腹中歡喜踴躍。那信了由上傳於她的話必要完成的，是有福的。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:39-45

39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechari’ah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

恭讀聖路加福音 1:26-38

到了第六個月，天使加俾額爾奉天主差遣，往加里肋亞一座名叫納匝肋的城去，到一位童貞女那裡。她已與達味家族中的一個名叫若瑟的男子訂了婚，童貞女的名子叫瑪利亞。天使進去向她說：「萬福！充滿恩寵者，上主與你同在！」【在女人中你是蒙祝福的】她卻因這話驚惶不安，便思慮這樣的請安有什麼意思。天使對她說：「瑪利亞，不要害怕，因為你在天主前獲得了寵幸。看，你將懷孕生子，並要給他起名叫耶穌。他將是偉大的，並被稱為至高者的兒子，上主天主要把他祖先達味的御座賜給他。他要為王統治雅各伯家，直到永遠；他的王權沒有終結。」瑪利亞便向天使說：「這事怎能成就？因我不認識男人。」天使答覆她說：「聖神要臨於你，至高者的能力要蔭庇你。因此，那要誕生的聖者，將稱為天主的兒子。且看，你的親戚依撒伯爾，她雖在老年，卻懷了男胎，本月已六個月了，她原是素稱不生育的，因為在天主前沒有不能的事。」瑪利亞說：「看！上主的婢女，願照你的話成就於我吧！」天使便離開她去了。

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:26-38

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name 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 father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34 And Mary said to the angel, “How shall this be, since I have no husband?” 35 And 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 called holy, the Son of God. 36 And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

恭讀聖路加福音 1:5-25

黑落德為猶太王的時候，阿彼雅班次中有一位司祭名叫匝加利亞，他的妻子名叫依撒伯爾，是亞郎的後代。二人在天主前都是義人，遵守上主的一切誡命和禮規，無瑕可指。但是，他們沒有孩子，因為依撒伯爾素不生育，兩人又都上了年紀。
有一天，正逢匝加利亞輪著他的班次，在天主前盡司祭的職務時，按著司祭的常例，他抽中了籤，得進上主的聖所獻香。獻香的時候，所有的百姓都在外面祈禱。有一位上主的天使站在香壇右邊顯現給他。匝加利亞一見，驚惶害怕起來；但天使對她說：「匝加利亞，不要害怕！因為你的祈禱已蒙應允，你的妻子依撒伯爾要給你生一個兒子，你要給他起名叫若翰。你必要歡喜踴躍，許多人也要因他的誕生而喜樂，因為他在上主面前將是偉大的，淡酒和濃酒他都不喝，而且，他還在母胎中就要充滿聖神；他要使許多以色列子民轉向上主，他們的天主；他要以厄里亞的精神和能力，在他前面先行，使為父的的心轉向兒子，使悖逆者轉向義人的心意，為上主準備一個善良的百姓。」匝加利亞遂向天使說：「我憑什麼能知這事可行呢？因為我已經老了，我的妻子也上了年紀。」天使回答說：「我是站在天主面前的加俾額爾，奉命來向你說話，報告你這個喜訊。看，你必成為啞巴，不能說話，直到這事成就的那一天，因為你沒有相信我的話；但我的話屆時必要應驗。」百姓等候匝加利亞，都驚訝他滯留在聖所內那末久。及至他出來，竟不能對他們講話。他們這才知道，他在聖所中見了異象；他成了啞巴，只好給他們打手勢。
匝加利亞供職的日期一滿，就回了家。幾天以後，他的妻子依撒伯爾受了孕，她躲藏了五個月，說：「上主在這些時日內這樣眷顧了我，除去了我在人間的恥辱。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke 1:5-25

5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechari’ah, of the division of Abi’jah; and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years. 8 Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, it fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And Zechari’ah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechari’ah, for your prayer is heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth; 15 for he will be great before the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16 And he will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God, 17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Eli’jah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.” 18 And Zechari’ah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel, who stand in the presence of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news. 20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21 And the people were waiting for Zechari’ah, and they wondered at his delay in the temple. 22 And when he came out, he could not speak to them, and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he made signs to them and remained dumb. 23 And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home. 24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying, 25 “Thus the Lord has done to me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.”
