Text: February 18-2018 - First Sunday of Lent - In you, Lady full of Grace

Instead of ‘Indeed, it is fitting’:
In you,* Lady, full of grace,* all creation rejoices,*
the world of angels* and the human race.*
Sanctified temple spiritual paradise,*
boast* of virgins,* God* took flesh from you*
and became a child;* He was God* before* the ages.*
He made your womb* a throne* and made it*
more encompassing* than the heavens.*
In you*, Lady full of grace,* all creation* rejoices,* glory be to you.
