O come, let us exult in the Lord; let us rejoice before God our Saviour. Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving; and rejoice before Him with psalms.
      Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
      For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods; for the Lord will not cast off His people, for in His hand are all the ends of the earth ; and the heights of the mountains He beholdeth.
      The Lord is with thee.
      For the sea is His, and He made it; and His hands formed the dryland. Come, let us worship and fall down before God; let us weep before the Lord that made us; for He is the Lord our God; and we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
      Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee.
      Today if ye shall hear His voice, harden not your hearts; as in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted Me, proved and saw My works.
      The Lord is with thee.
      Forty years long was I nigh unto that generation, and said: They do always err in their heart; and they have not known My ways, to whom I swore in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest.
      Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

      The Lord is with thee.
      Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

The Lord, Whom earth, and air, and sea
With one adoring voice resound;
Who rules them all in majesty;
In Mary's heart a cloister found.

Lo! in a humble virgin's womb
Overshadowed by almighty power,
He Whom the stars, and sun, and moon,
Each serve in their appointed hour.

O Mother blest, to whom was given
Within thy compass to contain
The Architect of earth and heaven,
Whose hands the universe sustain!

To thee was sent an angel down;
In thee the Spirit was enshrined;
From thee came forth that mighty One,
The long-desired of all mankind.

O Jesu! born of virgin bright,
Immortal glory be to Thee ;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.

      O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is Thy name in the whole earth!
      For Thy magnificence is exalted above the heavens.
      Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise because of Thine enemies, that Thou mayest destroy the enemy and the avenger.
      For I will behold Thy heavens, the works of Thy fingers: the moon and the stars which Thou hast set.
      What is man that Thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that Thou visitest him?
      Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor; and hast set him over the works of Thy hands.
      All things Thou hast put under his feet: sheep and all oxen, yea, also the beasts of the field.
      The birds of the air and the fishes of the sea, that pass through the paths of the sea.
      O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is Thy name in all the earth!

      The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament declareth the works of His hands.
      Day unto day uttereth speech; and night unto night showeth knowledge.
      They are not speeches nor words, whose voices are not heard.
      Unto all the earth their sound hath gone forth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
      In the sun hath He set His tabernacle; and as a bridegroom cometh out His bride-chamber.
      He hath rejoiced as a giant to run His course. His going forth is from the end of heaven;
      And His course even unto the end thereof: and there is none that is hid from His heat.
      The law of the Lord is without spot, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
      The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
      The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
      More to be desired are they than gold and many precious stones; and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
      For Thy servant keepeth them; and in keeping them there is great reward.
      Who understandeth his sins? From my secret ones cleanse me, and from strangers spare Thy servant.
      If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from grievous sin.
      And the sayings of my mouth and the meditation of my heart in Thy sight shall be ever pleasing.
      O Lord, my helper and my redeemer.

      The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: the world and all they that dwell therein.
      For He hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
      Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord? or who shall stand in His holy place?
      He that hath clean hands and a pure heart: who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.
      He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
      This is the generation of them that seek Him: of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
      Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of glory shall enter in.
      Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.
      Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates; and the King of glory shall enter in.
      Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.

      Through the prayers and merits of Blessed Mary, ever a virgin, and of all the saints, may the Lord bring us to the kingdom of heaven.

R. Amen.
V. Pray, a blessing.

May the Virgin Mary with her loving Child bless us.

R. Amen.

      The angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the Virgin's name was Mary. And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou amongst women. Do thou, Lord, have mercy on us.

R. Thanks be to God.

R. The angel Gabriel was sent to Mary, the Virgin, who was espoused to Joseph, declaring to her the word, and the Virgin trembles at the light. Fear not, Mary, thou hast found grace with the Lord: Behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth, and He shall be called the Son of the Most High.

V. The Lord shall give unto Him the throne of David His father, and He shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. Behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth, and He shall be called the Son of the Most High.

V. Pray, a blessing.

May the Virgin of virgins herself plead for us before the Lord.

R. Amen.

      And when she had heard these things, she was troubled at his saying, and thought within herself what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a Son, and thou shalt call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give unto Him the throne of David His father, and He shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there shall be no end. Do thou, Lord, have mercy on us.

R. Thanks be to God.

R. Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; for the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

V. How shall this be done, seeing I know not man? And the angel answering said unto her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; for the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

V. Pray, a blessing.

Through the Virgin Mother may the Lord grant us salvation and peace.

R. Amen.

      And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, seeing I know not man? And the angel answering said unto her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren; for no word shall be impossible with God. And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to Thy word. Do Thou, Lord, have mercy on us.

R. Thanks be to God.

V. Yea, thou shalt bring forth a Son, and shalt suffer no loss of virginity: thou shalt be with child, and shalt be a mother ever undefiled. That thou mayest be called blessed amongst all women.

V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. That thou mayest be called blessed amongst all women.

      We praise Thee, O God; we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.
      Thee, the Father everlasting, all the earth doth worship.
      To Thee all the angels, to Thee the heavens, and all the powers,
      To Thee the Cherubim and Seraphim cry out without ceasing:
      Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts.
      Full are the heavens and the earth of the majesty of Thy glory.
      Thee the glorious choir of the apostles.
      Thee the admirable company of the prophets.
      Thee the white-robed army of martyrs doth praise.
      Thee the holy Church throughout the world doth confess.
      The Father of incomprehensible Majesty.
      Thine adorable, true, and only Son.
      And the Holy Ghost the Paraclete.
      Thou, O Christ, art the King of glory.
      Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
      Thou, having taken upon Thee to deliver man, didst not disdain the Virgin's womb.
      Thou, having overcome the sting of death, hast opened to believers the kingdom of heaven.
      Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.
      Thou, we believe, art the Judge to come.

      We beseech Thee, therefore, to help Thy servants, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.
      Make them to be numbered with Thy saints in glory everlasting.
      O Lord, save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance.
      And govern them, and exalt them for ever.
      Day by day we bless Thee.
      And we praise Thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
      Vouchsafe, O Lord, this day, to keep us without sin.
      Have mercy on us, O Lord; have mercy on us.
      Let Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us; as we have trusted in Thee.
      In Thee, O Lord, have I trusted: let me not be confounded for ever.
