Collect V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. Let us pray. O God, who, through the mystery of the Word made flesh, didst in thy mercy sanctify the house of the Blessed Virgin Mary: do thou grant that we may keep aloof from the tabernacle of sinners, and become worthy indwellers of thy house; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen. The Lesson: Isaiah 7:10-14 The Lord spoke to Ahaz, "Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven." But Ahaz said, 'I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test." And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call his Name Immanuel [God is with us]." V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

The Psalm: Luke 1:46-55 [Magnificat anima mea Dominum] Chant, William Jacobs (1796-1872)

My doth | magnify · the | Lord: and my spirit hath re- | joiced in | God my | Savior. For He | hath re- | garded the | lowly · ness of | His hand- | maiden.

For be- | hold from | henceforth all gener- | ations · shall | call me | blessèd. For He that is mighty hath | magni · fied | me: and | holy | is His | Name.

And His mercy is on | them that | fear Him throughout | all | ge-ner- | ations. He hath showed strength | with His | arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagi- | na - tion | of their | hearts.

He hath put down the mighty | from their | seat, and hath ex- | alted · the | humble · and | meek. He hath filled the |hungry · with | good things, and the rich He hath | sent | empty · a- | way.

He re- |membering · His |mercy hath | holpen · His | ser - vant | Israel, As He promised | to our | forefathers, Abraham | and His | seed for | ever. The Epistle: Galatians 4:4-7 When the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God. Gospel Acclamation Ave Maria Luke 2:28; Numbers 17:8

Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. The rod of Jesse hath blossomed; a Virgin hath begotten God and Man: God hath restored peace, reconciling in himself the lowest with the highest. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. The Holy Gospel: St. John 19:25-27 V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. V. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint John. R. Glory be to thee, O Lord. Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. V. The Gospel of the Lord. R. Praise be to thee, O Christ.

All Holy and ever-living God, in giving us Jesus Christ to be our Saviour and Brother, You gave us Mary, His Mother, to be our Moth- er also; grant us, we pray you, to live lives worthy of so great a Brother and so dear a Mother, that we may come at last to you the Father of us all, Who lives and reigns for ever.

O alone of all women, Mother and Virgin, Mother most happy, Virgin most pure, now we sinful as we are, come to see thee who are all pure, we salute thee, we honour thee as how we may with our humble offerings; may thy Son grant us, that imitating thy most holy manners, we also, by the grace of the Holy Ghost may deserve spiritually to conceive the Lord Jesus in our inmost soul, and once conceived never to lose him. Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Walsingham

O blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy up- on us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in your prayers, (especially...) By you it was that Jesus, our Savior and hope, was given to the world; and he has given you to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom you did receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separat- ed brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of your Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with you in our heavenly home. Amen.
