Text: March 25-2018 - Palm Sunday - Feast of Annunciation, First Antiphon

First Antiphon:

I love the Lord because He hears the voice of my supplication.

Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us.

Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call upon Him all my days.

Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us.

The pangs of death encircled me; the dangers of Hades caught me.

Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us.

I met with anguish and pain, I called upon the name of the Lord.

Through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Savior, save us.
