Prayer of the Annunciation
The speaker implores Mary to pray for them in response to the angelic announcement of her virginal motherhood, concluding with the Ave Maria.
Pray for me, blessed Virgin, for the greeting from God the Father that the archangel brought you, and for the news that you would be the virgin mother of God's Son. Hail Mary.
Read the original Middle French
Prie pour moy, beneurée pucelle, Pour le salu qui vint de Dieu le pere Que t'aporta l'archange et la nouvelle Que du filz Dieu seroies vierge mere. Ave Maria.
