All the rich among the people seek your favor. Behind her the virgins of her train are brought to the King. They are borne in to you with gladness and joy.
Ps 44:13; 44:15-16

O God, Who chose for Your dwelling the virginal womb of the blessed Mary, grant, we beseech You, that, with the help of her protection, we may with joy take part in her festival.
Who livest…
Deus, qui virginálem aulam beátæ Maríæ, in qua habitáres, elígere dignátus es: da, quǽsumus; ut, sua nos defensióne munitos, jucúndos fácias suæ interésse festivitáti:
Qui vivis…
Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus
Sir 24:23-31
I bud forth delights like the vine, my blossoms become fruit fair and rich. I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come to me, all you that yearn for me, and be filled with my fruits; for my spirit is sweeter than honey, and my inheritance better to have than honey and the honeycomb. My memory is to everlasting generations. They who eat of me will hunger still, and they who drink of me will thirst for more. He who obeys me will not be put to shame, they who serve me will never fail. They who explain me shall have life everlasting.
Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ
Eccli 24:23-31
Ego quasi vitis fructificávi suavitátem odóris: et flores mei fructus honóris et honestátis. Ego mater pulchræ dilectiónis, et timóris, et agnitiónis, et sanctæ spei. In me grátia omnis viæ et veritátis: in me omnis spes vitæ et virtútis. Transíte ad me, omnes, qui concupíscitis me, et a generatiónibus meis implémini. Spíritus enim meus super mel dulcis, et heréditas mea super mel et favum. Memória mea in generatiónes sæculórum. Qui edunt me, adhuc esúrient: et qui bibunt me, adhuc sítient. Qui audit me, non confundétur: et qui operántur in me, non peccábunt. Qui elúcidant me, vitam ætérnam habébunt.
℣. Blessed and venerable are you, O Virgin Mary, who, without spot were made the Mother of the Saviour.
℣. O Virgin, Mother of God, He Whom the whole world cannot contain, shut Himself in your womb, becoming Man.
Benedícta et venerábilis es, Virgo María: quæ sine tactu pudóris invénta es Mater Salvatóris.
℣. Virgo, Dei Génetrix, quem totus non capit orbis, in tua se clausit víscera factus homo.
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.
Blessed art thou, O Virgin Mary, who didst bear the Creator of all things, thou didst bring forth who made thee, and remainest a virgin forever. (Alleluia.)
Beáta es, Virgo María, quæ ómnium portásti Creatórem: genuísti qui te fecit, et in ætérnum pérmanes Virgo. (Allelúja.)
O Lord, may the prayer of the Mother of God, recommend our offerings to Your mercy, that she, whom You transported from this world, may trustingly intercede for our sins in Your presence.
Through the same Christ our Lord…
Múnera nostra, Dómine, apud cleméntiam tuam Dei Genetrícis comméndet orátio: quam idcírco de præsénti sǽculo transtulísti; ut pro peccátis nostris apud te fiduciáliter intercédat.
Per eúndem…
Common
It is truly meet and just, and profitable unto salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to Thee, O Holy Lord, Father Almighty, eternal God, through Christ, our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominions adore it, the Powers are in awe. Which the heavens and the hosts of heaven together with the blessed Seraphim joyfully do magnify. And do Thou command that it be permitted us to join with them in confessing Thee, while we say with lowly praise:
Communis
Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: per 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 confessione 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.)
Grant Your protection for our weakness, O merciful God, that we who look forward to the feast of God’s holy Mother, may, through the help of her intercession, rise from the depths of our sins.
Through the same Christ our Lord…
Concéde, miséricors Deus, fragilitáti nostræ præsídium: ut, qui sanctæ Dei Genetrícis festivitátem prævenímus; intercessiónis ejus auxílio a nostris iniquitátibus resurgámus.
Per eúndem…
