Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus
Ecclus 24:14-16
Before all ages, in the beginning, He created me, and through all ages I shall not cease to be. In the holy Tent I ministered before Him, and in Sion I fixed my abode. Thus in the chosen city He has given me rest, in Jerusalem is my domain. I have struck root among the glorious people, in the portion of my God, His heritage, and my abode is in the full assembly of Saints.
Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ
Eccli 24:14-16
Ab inítio et ante sǽcula creáta sum, et usque ad futúrum sǽculum non désinam, et in habitatióne sancta coram ipso ministrávi. Et sic in Sion firmáta sum, et in civitáte sanctificáta simíliter requiévi, et in Jerúsalem potéstas mea. Et radicávi in pópulo honorificáto, et in parte Dei mei heréditas illíus, et in plenitúdine sanctórum deténtio mea.
Blessed and venerable are you, O Virgin Mary, who, with unsullied virginity, were found to be the Mother of the Saviour.
℣. O Virgin, Mother of God, He Whom the whole world does not contain, becoming man, shut Himself in your womb.
Rejoice, O Virgin Mary; alone you have put an end to all heresies.
℣. You who believed the words of the Archangel Gabriel.
℣. Still a virgin, you brought forth God and man; and after childbirth you remained an inviolate virgin.
℣. O Mother of God, intercede for us.
Benedícta et venerábilis es, Virgo María: quæ sine tactu pudóris invénia es Mater Salvatóris.
℣. Virgo, Dei Génetrix, quem totus non capit orbis, in tua se clausit víscera factus homo.
Tractus
Gaude, María Virgo, cunctas hǽreses sola interemísti.
℣. Quæ Gabriélis Archángeli dictis credidísti.
℣. Dum Virgo Deum et hóminem genuísti: et post partum, Virgo, invioláta permansísti.
℣. Dei Génetrix, intercéde pro nobis.
Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 11:27-28
At that time, as Jesus was speaking to the multitudes, a certain woman from the crowd lifted up her voice and said to Him, Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts that nursed You. But He said, Rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.
Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 11:27-28
In illo témpore: Loquénte Jesu ad turbas, extóllens vocem quædam múlier de turba, dixit illi: Beátus venter, qui te portávit, et úbera, quæ suxísti. At ille dixit: Quinímmo beáti, qui áudiunt verbum Dei, et custódiunt illud.
You are happy, O holy Virgin Mary, and most worthy of all high praise; for out of you has risen the sun of justice, Christ our God.
Felix namque es, sacra Virgo María, et omni laude digníssima: quia ex te ortus est sol justítiæ, Christus, Deus noster.
Through Your mercy, O Lord, and by the intercession of blessed Mary, ever Virgin, the Mother of Your only-begotten Son, may this offering profit us for prosperity and peace, now and forevermore.
Through our Lord…
Tua, Dómine, propitiatióne, et beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis intercessióne, ad perpétuam atque præséntem hæc oblátio nobis profíciat prosperitátem et pacem.

Blessed Virgin
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: and that we should praise and bless, and proclaim Thee, in the veneratione of the Blessed Mary, ever-Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, and the glory of her virginity still abiding, gave forth to the world the everlasting Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, and the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
de Beata Maria Virgine
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Et te in veneratione beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis collaudáre, benedícere et prædicáre. Quæ et Unigénitum tuum Sancti Spíritus obumbratióne concépit: et, virginitátis glória permanénte, lumen ætérnum mundo effúdit, Jesum Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the eternal Father. (Alleluja.)
Beáta víscera Maríæ Vírginis, quæ portavérunt ætérni Patris Fílium. (Allelúja.)
Having received the aids conducive to our salvation, O Lord, we beseech You, grant that we may everywhere be protected by the patronage of blessed Mary, ever Virgin, in veneration of whom we have made these offerings to Your Majesty.
Through our Lord…
Sumptis, Dómine, salútis nostræ subsídiis: da, quǽsumus, beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis patrocíniis nos ubíque prótegi; in cujus veneratióne hæc tuæ obtúlimus majestáti.
Per Dominum…
Commemoration St. Simeon
With our strength renewed from having shared in Your sacred gift, we beseech You, O Lord our God, that by the intercession of blessed Simeon, Your Martyr, we may feel the benefit of the worship we are offering.
Through our Lord…
Commemoratio S. Simeonis Faustini Episcopi et Martyris
Refécti participatióne múneris sacri, quǽsumus, Dómine, Deus noster: ut, cujus exséquimur cultum, intercedénte beáto Simeóne Mártyre tuo atque Pontífice, sentiámus efféctum.
Per Dominum…
