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.
O Virgin Mary, blessed and venerable art thou: who without blemish to thy maidenhood, didst become the Mother of the Savior.
℣. O Virgin Mother of God, He whom the whole world cannot contain, enclosed Himself within thy womb, and became man.
℣. Joyful art thou, holy Virgin Mary, and worthy of all praise: for of thee hast risen the Son of Justice, Christ our Lord.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Through thee, O Mother of God, has the life we had lost been
restored: from heaven didst thou beget thy Child, to the world brought forth a Savior. Alleluia.
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.
℣. Felix es, sacra Virgo María, et omni laude digníssima: quia ex te ortus est sol justítiæ, Christus, Deus noster.
Allelúja, allelúja.
Per te, Dei Génetrix, nobis est vita pérdita data: quæ de cœlo suscepísti prolem, et mundo genuísti Salvatórem. Allelúja.
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.
Jer 18:20
Remember, O Virgin Mother, to speak good things before God’s face in our behalf, so that He may turn away His wrath from us.
Jer 18:20
Recordáre, Virgo Mater, in conspéctu Dei, ut loquáris pro nobis bona, et ut avértat indignatiónem suam a nobis.
O Lord, we beseech You, make holy the sacrificial gifts we offer, and by the most powerful prayers of blessed Mary, Mother of God, grant they may be helpful to our salvation.
Through the same Christ our Lord…
Sanctífica, Dómine, quǽsumus, obláta libámina: et, beátæ Dei Genetrícis Maríæ salubérrima intercessióne, nobis salutária fore concéde.
Per eúndem…
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 Commemoratione 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 Commemoratione 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:
Most worthy Queen of the world, Mary ever Virgin, who have borne Christ the Lord, the Saviour of all, intercede for our peace and salvation.
Regína mundi digníssima, María Virgo perpétua, intercéde pro nostra pace et salúte, quæ genuísti Christum Dóminum, Salvatórem ómnium.
May the venerable intercession of Your glorious Mother Mary, ever Virgin, help us, O Lord, that those whom she has ladened with lasting benefits may be delivered from all dangers and be made of one mind by her godliness.
Who livest…
Adjuvet nos, quǽsumus, Dómine, gloriósæ tuæ Genetrícis sempérque Vírginis Maríæ intercéssio veneránda: ut, quos perpétuis cumulávit benefíciis, a cunctis perículis absolútos, sua fáciat pietáte concórdes:
Qui vivis…
