Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Ant. Holy Virgin Mary, * Mother of God, pray for us.
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 are his.
Ant. Mother of God, pray for us.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

Today if you 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, they proved me, and saw my works.

Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Quem terra, pontus, sídera
Colunt, adórant, prædicant,
Trinam regéntem máchinam,
Claustrum Maríæ bájulat.
Cui luna, sol, et ómnia
Desérviunt per témpora,
Perfúsa cæli grátia,
Gestant puéllæ víscera.
Beáta Mater múnere,
Cujus supérnus ártifex
Mundum pugíllo cóntinens,
Ventris sub arca clausus est.
Beáta cæli núntio,
Fœcúnda sancto Spíritu,
Desiderátus géntibus,
Cujus per alvum fusus est.
Jesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
The God whom earth, and sea, and sky
Adore, and laud, and magnify,
Who o'er their threefold fabric reigns,
The Virgin's spotless womb contains.
The God, whose will by moon and sun
And all things in due course is done,
Is borne upon a maiden's breast,
By fullest heavenly grace possest.
How blest that mother, in whose shrine
The great artificer divine,
Whose hand contains the earth and sky,
Vouchsafed, as in his ark, to lie.
Blest, in the message Gabriel brought;
Blest, by the work the Spirit wrought;
From whom the great desire of earth
Took human flesh and human birth.
All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-born to thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

Lesson from the book of Proverbs
Prov 8:12-17
12 I wisdom dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts.
13 The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
14 Counsel and equity is mine, prudence is mine, strength is mine.
15 By me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things,
16 By me princes rule, and the mighty decree justice.
17 I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O how holy and how spotless is thy virginity; I am too dull to praise thee:
* For thou hast borne in thy breast Him Whom the heavens cannot contain.

Prov 8:18-25
18 With me are riches and glory, glorious riches and justice.
19 For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment,
21 That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures.
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning.
23 I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made.
24 The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived. neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out:
25 The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth:
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Rejoice with me, all ye that love the Lord, for while I was yet a little one, I pleased the Most High.

Quo témpore major feliciorque Hispaniárum pars diro Saracenórum opprimebátur jugo, innumerique fidéles sub immani servitute, maximo cum periculo christianæ fidei abjurandæ, amittendæque salútis ætérnæ, infeliciter detinebántur, beatíssima cælórum Regína, tot tantisque benigniter occurrens malis, nimiam caritátem suam in iis rediméndis osténdit. Nam sancto Petro Nolasco, pietáte et opibus florenti, qui, sanctis vacans meditatiónibus, jugiter animo recogitábat qua ratióne tot Christianórum ærumnis sub Maurórum captivitáte degéntium succurri posset, ípsamet beatíssima Virgo, serena fronte, se conspiciéndam dedit; et acceptíssimum sibi ac unigenito suo Fílio fore dixit, si suum in honórem institueréntur ordo religiosórum, quibus cura incumberet captivos e Turcárum tyrannide liberandi.

Reading 4
In the early part of the thirteenth century of the era of our Lord, the greatest and fairest part of Spain lay crushed under the yoke of the Saracens, and countless numbers of the faithful were held in brutal slavery, with the most lively danger of being made to deny the Christian faith and of losing everlasting salvation. Amid such sorrows the most Blessed Queen of heaven came mercifully to the rescue, and showed how the greatness of her motherly love was fain for their redemption. Holy Peter Nolasco, in the full bloom of the treasures of godliness as well as rich in earthly wealth, was earnestly pondering with himself how he could succour so many suffering Christians dwelling in bondage to the Moors. To him appeared with gracious visage the Most Blessed Virgin, and bade him know that it would be well pleasing in her own sight, and in the sight of her Only-begotten Son, that an Order of Religious men should be founded in her honour, whose work it should be to redeem prisoners from Mohammedan slavery. Strengthened by this heavenly vision, the man of God began to burn with wonderful charity, nursing in his heart the one desire that he himself and the Order which he should found might exercise that love, greater than which hath no man, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John xv. 13.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I was exalted like a cedar in Lebanon, and as a cypress-tree upon Mount Zion. Like the best myrrh
* I yielded a pleasant odour.

Ea ipsa nocte éadem Virgo sanctíssima beato Raymundo de Péñafort et Jacobo Aragoniæ regi appáruit, idípsum de religiosis instituéndis ádmonens, suadensque ut opem pro constructióne tanti operis ferrent. Petrus autem statim ad Raymundi pedes, qui ipsi erat a sacris confessiónibus, ádvolans, ei rem omnem apéruit; quem étiam cælitus instructum réperit, ejusque directióni se humillime subjécit.

Reading 5
Upon the same night the same most holy Virgin appeared to the Blessed Raymund de Penafuerte, and to James, King of Aragon, charging them concerning the founding of the Order, and desiring them to help in raising up so great a work. Peter betook himself forthwith to the feet of Raymund, who was his confessor, and laid the matter before him, whom also he found taught from heaven, and to whose governance he right humbly submitted himself. Then came King James, who appointed to carry out this revelation, which himself also had received from the Most Blessed Virgin. The three took counsel together, and all with one consent entered upon the institution of an Order in honour of the said Virgin Mother, to be placed under the invocation of St. Mary of Ransom, for the redemption of captives.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Die ígitur décima Augusti anno Dómini millesimo ducentésimo décimo octavo, rex idem Jacobus eam institutiónem, jamprídem ab iisdem sanctis viris conceptam, éxsequi státuit, sodálibus quarto voto adstrictis manéndi in pignus sub paganórum potestate, si pro Christianórum liberatióne opus fúerit. Quibus rex ipsa arma sua regia in péctore deferre concessit, et a Gregório nono illud tam præcellentis erga próximum caritátis institutum et religiónem confírmari curávit. Sed et ipse Deus per Vírginem Matrem increméntum dedit, ut talis institútio celerius ac felicius totum per orbem divulgarétur, sanctisque viris florúerit caritate ac pietáte insígnibus, qui eleemósynas a Christi fidelibus collectas in prétium redemptiónis suórum proximórum expénderent, seque ipsos intérdum darent in redemptiónem multórum. Ut autem tanti beneficii et institutiónis, débitæ Deo et Virgini Matri referántur gratiæ, Sedes apostolica hanc peculiarem festivitátem celebrari et Offícium recitari indulsit, cum alia fere innumera eídem ordini privilegia páriter contulísset.

Upon the 10th of August, in the year of our Lord 1218, the above-named King James decreed the establishment of this Order, thus already conceived by these holy men. The brethren take, (in addition to the vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience,) a fourth vow, whereby they bind themselves to remain in pawn with the unbelievers, if need so require, for the liberation of Christians. The King granted them the right to bear on their breasts his own Royal blazon, and obtained from Gregory IX. the confirmation of this Institute and Order so nobly marked by brotherly charity. God Himself, through the Virgin Mother, gave the increase, causing this Institute speedily and prosperously to spread through all the world, and to blossom with holy men, great in love and godliness, to spend in the redemption of their neighbours the alms which are committed to them by Christ's faithful people, to that end, and some whiles to give themselves up for the ransom of many. That due thanks might be rendered to God and to the Virgin Mother for the great blessing of this Institute, the See Apostolic among other well-nigh countless favours bestowed upon it, permitted that this special Feast-day should be kept and this Office said.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. When the Lord beheld the daughter of Jerusalem adorned with her jewels, He greatly desired her beauty
* And when the daughters of Zion saw her, they cried out that she was most blessed, saying thy name is as ointment poured forth.
℣. Upon thy right hand did stand the Queen in a vesture of gold wrought about with diverse colours.

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 réliqua.
Homilía sancti Bedæ Venerábilis Presbýteri
Lib 4. cap. 49. in Luc. 11.
Magnæ devotiónis et fidei hæc mulier osténditur, quæ, scribis et pharisǽis Dóminum tentántibus simul et blasphemántibus, tanta ejus incarnatiónem præ ómnibus sinceritáte cognóscit, tanta fiducia confitétur, ut et præséntium prócerum calumniam, et futurórum confúndat hæreticórum perfidiam. Nam, sicut tunc Judǽi, Sancti Spíritus ópera blasphemándo, verum consubstantialémque Patri Dei Fílium negábant; sic hærétici póstea, negando Maríam semper Vírginem, Sancti Spíritus operante virtúte, nascitúro cum humanis membris Unigenito Dei, carnis suæ matériam ministrásse, verum consubstantialémque matri Fílium hóminis fatéri non debére dixérunt.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℟. Felix namque es, sacra Virgo María, et omni laude digníssima:
* Quia ex te ortus est sol justítiæ, Christus, Deus noster.
℣. Ora pro pópulo, intérveni pro clero, intercéde pro devóto femíneo sexu: séntiant omnes tuum juvámen, quicúmque célebrant tuam sanctam festivitátem.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 11:27-28
At that time, as Jesus spoke unto the multitudes, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice and said unto Him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee. And so on.
Homily by the Venerable Bede
Lib 4 Cap 49 in Luke 11
It is plain that this was a woman of great earnestness and faith. The Scribes and Pharisees were at once tempting and blaspheming the Lord, but this woman so clearly grasped His Incarnation, and so bravely confessed the same, that she confounded both the lies of the great men who were present, and the faithlessness of the heretics who were yet to come. Even as the Jews then, blaspheming the works of the Holy Ghost, denied the very Son of God Who is of one substance with the Father, so afterwards did the heretics, by denying that Mary always a Virgin did, under the operation of the Holy Ghost, supply flesh to the Only begotten One of God, when He was about being born in an human Body, even so, I say, did the heretics deny that the Son of Man should be called a true Son, Who is of one substance with His Mother.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O Holy Virgin Mary, happy indeed art thou, and right worthy of all praise
* For out of thee rose the Sun of righteousness, even Christ our God.
℣. Pray for the people, plead for the clergy, make intercession for all women vowed to God. May all that are keeping this thine holy Feast day feel the might of thine assistance.
℟. For out of thee rose the Sun of righteousness, even Christ our God.

Sed, si caro Verbi Dei secúndum carnem nascentis a carne Vírginis matris pronuntiátur extranea, sine causa venter qui eam portasset, ubera quæ lactássent, beatificántur. Dicit autem Apóstolus: Quia misit Deus Fílium suum, factum ex mulíere, factum sub lege. Neque audiéndi sunt, qui legéndum putant: Natum ex mulíere, factum sub lege, sed Factum ex mulíere; quia concéptus ex útero virginali, carnem non de níhilo, non aliunde, sed materna traxit ex carne. Alioquin nec vere Fílius hóminis dicerétur, qui originem non haberet ex hómine. Et nos ígitur, his contra Eutychen dictis, extollámus vocem cum Ecclésia catholica, cujus hæc mulier typum gessit, extollámus et méntem de médio turbárum, dicamusque Salvatori: Beátus venter qui te portávit, et ubera quæ suxísti. Vere enim beáta parens, quæ, sicut quidam ait, Enixa est puérpera Regem, qui cælum terramque tenet per sæcula.

Reading 8
If we shall say that the Flesh, Wherewith the Son of God was born in the flesh, was something outside of the flesh of the Virgin His Mother, without reason should we bless the womb that bore Him, and the paps which He hath sucked. But the Apostle saith: “God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law”, Gal. iv. 4, and they are not to be listened to who read this passage: “Born of a woman, made under the law.” He was made of a woman, for He was conceived in a virgin's womb, and took His Flesh, not from nothing, not from elsewhere, but from the flesh of His Mother. Otherwise, and if He had not been sprung of a woman, He could not with truth be called the Son of man. Let us therefore, denying the doctrine of Eutyches, lift up our voice, along with the Universal Church, whereof that woman was a figure, let us lift up our heart as well as our voice from the company, and say unto the Saviour: Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. Blessed Mother, of whom one hath said thou art His Mother, Who reigns over earth and over heaven for ever.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. All generations shall call me blessed.
* For He that is mighty, even the Lord, hath done to me great things; and Holy is His Name.
℣. And his mercy is on them that fear Him, from generation to generation.

Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the Word of God and keep it. How nobly doth the Saviour say “Yea” to the woman's blessing, declaring also that not only is she blessed who was meet to give bodily birth to the Word of God, but that all they who spiritually conceive the same Word by the hearing of faith, and, by keeping it through good works, bring it forth and, as it were, carefully nurse it, in their own hearts, and in the hearts of their neighbours, are also blessed. Yea, and that the very Mother of God herself was blessed in being for a while the handmaid of the Word of God made Flesh, but that she was much more blessed in this, that through her love she keepeth Him for ever.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

O glorious lady! throned on high
Above the star-illumined sky;
Thereto ordained, thy bosom lent
To thy Creator nourishment.
Through thy sweet offspring we receive
The bliss once lost through hapless Eve;
And heaven to mortals open lies
Now thou art portal of the skies.
Thou art the door of heaven's high King,
Light's gateway fair and glistering;
Life through a Virgin is restored;
Ye ransomed nations, praise the Lord!
All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

Ut in diúrnis áctibus

Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.
Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.
Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,

Hymn {Doxology: Nat}
Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.
May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.
May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.
That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.
All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen.

From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Hymn
The first verse of the following hymn is said genuflecting.
Ave, star of ocean,
Child divine who barest,
Mother, ever-Virgin,
Heaven's portal fairest.
Taking that sweet Ave
Erst by Gabriel spoken,
Eva's name reversing,
Be of peace the token.
Break the sinners' fetters,
Light to blind restoring,
All our ills dispelling,
Every boon imploring.
Show thyself a mother
In thy supplication;
He will hear who chose thee
At his incarnation.
Maid all maids excelling,
Passing meek and lowly,
Win for sinners pardon,
Make us chaste and holy.
As we onward journey
Aid our weak endeavour,
Till we gaze on Jesus
And rejoice forever.
Father, Son, and Spirit,
Three in One confessing,
Give we equal glory
Equal praise and blessing.
Amen.
℣. Holy Virgin, my praise by thee accepted be.
℟. Give me strength against thine enemies.

Te lucis ante términum,
Rerum Creátor, póscimus,
Ut pro tua cleméntia
Sis præsul et custódia.
Procul recédant sómnia,
Et nóctium phantásmata;
Hostémque nóstrum cómprime,
Ne polluántur córpora.
Jesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

Hymn {Doxology: Nat}
Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy wonted favor thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.
From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
From nightly fears and fantasies;
Tread under foot our ghostly foe,
That no pollution we may know.
All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen.
