Angel

And because thou wast acceptable to God, it was necessary that temptation should prove thee.
And now the Lord hath sent me to heal thee, and to deliver Sara thy son's wife from the devil.
For I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord.
And when they had heard these things, they were troubled, and being seized with fear they fell upon the ground on their face.
And the angel said to them: Peace be to you, fear not.
For when I was with you, I was there by the will of God: bless ye him, and sing praises to him.
I seemed indeed to eat and to drink with you but I use an invisible meat and drink, which cannot be seen by men.
It is time therefore that I return to him that sent me: but bless ye God, and publish all his wonderful works.
And when he had said these things, he was taken from their sight, and they could see him no more.

And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin's name was Mary.
And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Who having heard, was troubled at his saying and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
