Hymn
Remember, O Creator Lord!
That in the Virgin’s sacred womb
Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh
Didst our mortality assume.Mother of grace, O Mary blest!
To thee, sweet fount of love, we fly:
Shield us through life, and take us hence
To thy dear bosom when we die.O Jesu! born of Virgin bright
Immortal glory be to Thee;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.
Ant. Fear not, Mary.
Psalm 122. Ad te levavi
A prayer in affliction.
1 Unto Thee have I lifted up mine eyes * O Thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants * are on the hands of their masters,
3 As the eyes of the handmaiden are on the hands of her mistress * so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until He have mercy upon us.
4 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us * for we are greatly filled with contempt.
5 Yea, our soul is greatly filled * we are a reproach unto the rich, and a contempt unto the proud.
Glory Be.
Psalm 123. Nisi quia Dominus
The Church gives glory to God for her deliverance from her enemies.
1 If the Lord had not been in us, now may Israel say * If the Lord had not been in us,
2 When men rose up against us * peradventure they had swallowed us up alive.
3 When their fury was enkindled against us * perchance the waters had swallowed us up.
4 Our soul hath passed through a torrent; * perchance our soul would have passed through overwhelming waters.
5 Blessed be the Lord * who hath not given us up to be a prey unto their teeth.
6 Our soul hath been delivered, as a sparrow * out of the snare of the fowlers.
7 The snare is broken * and we are delivered.
8 Our help is in the name of the Lord * who hath made heaven and earth.
Glory Be.
Psalm 124. Qui confidunt
God protects the just who have confidence in Him.
1 They who trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Sion * he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth in Jerusalem.
2 The hills stand round about her * even so is the Lord round about His people, from this time forth for evermore.
3 For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners over the lot of the just * that the just may not stretch forth their hands unto wickedness.
4 Do well, O Lord, unto those that are good * and unto them that are right of heart.
5 But such as turn aside unto deceits, the Lord shall number with the workers of iniquity * but peace shall be upon Israel.
Glory Be.
R. Fear not, Mary, thou hast found grace with the Lord: behold, thou shalt conceive and bear a Son. Alleluia.

Let us pray. O God, who wast pleased that Thy Word should take flesh in the womb of the blessed Virgin Mary and didst make it known unto her by the message of an angel; grant that we, Thy suppliants who truly believe her to be the Mother of God may, through her intercession find help with Thee. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
