Hymnus {ex Proprio Sanctorum}
Cælo Redémptor prǽtulit
Felícis alvum Vírginis,
Ubi futúra víctima
Mortále corpus índuit.
Hæc Virgo nobis édidit
Nostræ salútis áuspicem,
Qui nos redémit sánguine,
Pœnas crucémque pértulit.
Spes læta nostro e péctore
Pellat timóres ánxios:
Hæc quippe nostras lácrimas
Precésque defert Fílio.
Voces Paréntis éxcipit,
Votísque Natus ánnuit:
Hanc quisque semper díligat,
Rebúsque in arctis ínvocet.
Sit Trinitáti glória,
Quæ Matris intáctum sinum
Ditávit almo gérmine,
Laus sit per omne sǽculum.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
In heaven's court the choice was weighed,
And fixed upon the Blessed Maid,
Whence there was born, by God's decree,
Christ's ransoming humanity.
And so this Virgin-Mother bore
Him who to save us suffered sore,
Whose life-blood there the earth bedewed
Where he redeemed us on the Rood.
Let anxious fears from man depart,
And hope give joy to every heart,
For with her Son she e'er will plead
That he our tears and prayers may heed.
He welcometh his Mother's plea,
And listeneth right graciously;
Let his, like him, love her indeed,
And seek her help for human need.
All glory to the Trinity
Who made the Virgin's womb to be
A Shrine for Christ's humanity,
To whom be praise eternally.
Amen.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus
Sir 24:5-11
5 I came out of the mouth of the most High, the firstborn before all creatures:
6 I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth:
7 I dwelt in the highest places, and my throne is in a pillar of a cloud.
8 I alone have compassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated into the bottom of the deep, and have walked in the waves of the sea,
9 And have stood in all the earth: and in every people,
10 And in every nation I have had the chief rule:
11 And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O Holy Virgin Mary, happy art thou, and right worthy of all praise;
* For out of thee rose the Sun of righteousness, even Christ our God, by whom we are saved and redeemed.

A Sermon of St. Leo the Pope
Sermon 1 on the Nativity of the Lord
His Mother was chosen a Virgin of the kingly lineage of David, and when she was to grow heavy with the sacred Child, her soul had already conceived him before her body. She learned the counsel of God announced to her by the Angel, lest the unwonted events should alarm her. The future Mother of God knew what was to be wrought in her by the Holy Ghost, and that her modesty was absolutely safe. For why should she, unto whom was promised all sufficient strength through the power of the Highest, have felt hopeless merely because of the unexampled character of such a conception? She believeth, and her belief is confirmed by the attestation of a miracle which hath already been wrought. The fruitfulness of Elizabeth, before unhoped for, is brought forward that she might not doubt that he who had given conception unto her that was barren, would give the same unto her that was Virgin. And so the Word of God, the Son of God, who was in the beginning with God, by whom all things were made, and without whom was not anything made that was made, to deliver man from eternal death, was made man.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Let us tell again of the right worthy Motherhood of the glorious Virgin Mary:
* The same is she whose lowliness the Lord regarded, she who by the message of an Angel conceived the Saviour of the world.
℣. Let us sing praise to Christ on this the solemn Feastday of the wondrous Mother of God.
℟. The same is she whose lowliness the Lord regarded, she who by the message of an Angel conceived the Saviour of the world.

Nova autem nativitáte génitus est: concéptus a Vírgine, natus ex Vírgine, sine patérnæ carnis concupiscéntia, sine matérnæ integritátis iniúria: quia futúrum hóminum Salvatórem talis ortus decébat, qui et in se habéret humánæ substántiæ natúram, et humánæ carnis inquinaménta nescíret.

Sermon 2 on the Nativity of the Lord
Our Lord Jesus Christ, descending from his throne in heaven, but leaving not that glory which he hath with the Father, cometh into this lower world by being born after a new order and in a new birth. He cometh after a new order, in that he who is unseen among his own, was seen among us; the Incomprehensible was fain to be comprehended, and he that is from everlasting to everlasting began to be in time. He was the Offspring of a new birth; conceived of a maiden, without the passion of any fleshly father, without any breach of his Mother's virginity, since such a birth beseemed the coming Saviour of mankind, who was to have in him the nature of man's being, and to be free of any defilement of man's flesh. Though he sprung not as we spring, yet is his nature as our nature; we believe that he is free from the use and custom of men; but it was the power of God which wrought that a maiden should conceive, that a maiden should bring forth, and yet abide a maiden still.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Blessed art thou of the Lord, O daughter, for through thee have we been given to eat of the tree of life:
* Thou, without example before thee, didst make thyself well-pleasing in the sight of our Lord Jesus Christ.
℣. Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us from all dangers, O holy Mother of God.

From the Acts of Pope Pius XI
In the year 1931, amid the applause of the whole Catholic world, solemn rites were celebrated to mark the completion of the fifteen centuries which had elapsed since the Council of Ephesus, moving against the Nestorian heresy, had acclaimed the blessed Virgin Mary, of whom Jesus was born, as Mother of God. This acclamation had been made by the Fathers of the Church under the leadership of Pope Celestine. Pius XI, as Supreme Pontiff, wished to commemorate the notable event and to give lasting proof of his devotion to Mary. Now there had existed for many years in Rome a grand memorial to the proclamation of Ephesus, the triumphal arch in the basilica of Saint Mary Major on the Esquiline Hill. This monument had already been adorned by a previous pontiff, Sixtus III, with mosaics of marvelous workmanship, now falling to pieces from the decay of the passing ages. Pius XI, therefore, out of his own munificence, caused these to be restored most exquisitely and with them the transept of the basilica. In an Encyclical Letter Pius set forth also the true history of the Council of Ephesus, and expounded fervently and at great length the doctrine of the prerogatives of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Mother of God. He did this that the doctrine of this lofty mystery might sink more deeply into the hearts of the faithful. In it he set forth Mary, the Mother of God, blessed among women, and the most holy Family of Nazareth as the exemplars to be followed above all others, as models of the dignity and holiness of chaste wedlock, as patterns of the holy education to be given youth. Finally that no liturgical detail be lacking, he decreed that the feast of the Divine Motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary be celebrated annually on the 11th day of October by the universal Church with a proper Mass and Office under the rite of a double of the second class.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb:
* Whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?
℣. He hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden, and he that is mighty hath magnified me.
℟. Whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. Whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?

Homilía sancti Bernárdi Abbátis
Hom. 1 de Laud. Virg. Matris
Deum et Dóminum Angelórum María suum fílium appéllat, dicens: Fili, quid fecísti nobis sic? Quis hoc áudeat Angelórum? Súfficit eis, et pro magno habent, quod cum sint spíritus ex conditióne, ex grátia facti sint et vocáti Angeli, testánte David: Qui facit Angelos suos spíritus. María vero matrem se agnóscens, maiestátem illam, cui illi cum reveréntia sérviunt, cum fidúcia suum núncupat Fílium: nec dedignátur nuncupári Deus, quod esse dignátus est. Nam paulo post subdit Evangelísta: Et erat súbditus illis. Quis? Quibus? Deus homínibus? Deus, inquam, cui Angeli súbditi sunt, cui Principátus et Potestátes obédiunt, súbditus erat Maríæ.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 2:43-51
In that time, having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not. And so on.
A Homily of St. Bernard the Abbot
Homilia 1. de Laud. Virg. Matris
Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? Mary called God, the Lord of Angels, her son. Which of the angels would have dared to do so? It is enough for them, and they reckon it is a great thing, that, being naturally spirits, they should receive the grace of being made and called angels, as witness David: Who maketh spirits his angels. But Mary, knowing herself to be his Mother, doth boldly apply the word Son to that Majesty whom the angels do serve with awe; neither doth God despise to be called what he hath made himself. For a little after, the Evangelist saith: And he was subject unto them. Who to whom? God to men. I say that God, unto whom the angels are subject, and who is obeyed by the Principalities and Powers, was subject to Mary.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Blessed art thou, O Virgin Mary, Mother of God, thou that hast believed the Lord, for there hath been a performance in thee of those things which were told thee:
* Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
℣. Grace is poured into thy lips; plead for us with the Lord our God.
℟. Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

Quibus ergo láudibus iúdicas dignam, quæ étiam præit? Disce, homo, obedíre: disce, terra, subdi; disce, pulvis, obtemperáre. De Auctóre tuo loquens Evangelísta: Et erat, inquit, súbditus illis.

Reading 8
Marvel thou at both these things, and choose whether to marvel most at the sublime condescension of the Son, or at the sublime dignity of Mary. Either is amazing, either marvelous. That God should obey this woman, is a lowliness without parallel; that this woman should rule over God, an exaltation without match. In praise of virgins, and of virgins only, is it sung that These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. Of what praise then thinkest thou that she must be worthy who even leadeth the Lamb? O man, learn to obey. O earth, learn to submit. O dust, learn to keep down. It is of thy Maker that the Evangelist saith: And he was subject unto them. Blush, O proud ashes. God humbleth himself; and dost thou exalt thyself? God is subject unto men; and wilt thou, by striving to rule over men, set thyself before thy Maker?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Rejoice with me, all you that love the Lord, for in my lowliness I pleased the Most High,
* And from my womb I brought forth God-made-Man.

Felix María, cui nec humílitas défuit, nec virgínitas! Et quidem singuláris virgínitas, quam non temerávit, sed honorávit fecúnditas.

Reading 9
O happy Mary, lowly and virgin; and wondrous virginity, which motherhood destroyed not, but exalted; and wondrous lowliness, which the fruitful virginity took not away, but ennobled; and wondrous motherhood, which was both virgin and lowly. Which of them is not wondrous? which of them is not unexampled? and which of them doth not stand alone? The wonder would be if thou wert not puzzled at which to wonder most? motherhood in a virgin, or virginity in a mother; a motherhood so exalted, or lowliness in such exaltation. But indeed more marvelous than any one of these things is the combination of them all, and without all comparison, it is more excellent and more blessed to have received them all, than to have received any one of them alone. What wonder is it that God, of whom we see and read, that He is wonderful in his holy places, should have shown himself wonderful in his Mother? O ye that be married, honor this incorruption in corruptible flesh; O holy maidens, gaze in wonder at motherhood in a maid; O, all mankind, take pattern by the lowliness of the Mother of God.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.

Mother of Almighty God!
Suppliant at thy feet we pray;
Shelter us from Satan’s fraud,
Safe beneath thy wing this day.
Twas by reason of our Fall,
In our first Forefather’s crime,
That the mighty Lord of all
Raised thee to thy rank sublime.
Oh then upon Adam’s race
Look thou with a pitying eye;
And entreat of Jesus grace,
Till He lay his anger by.
Honour, glory, virtue, merit,
Be to Thee, O Virgin’s Son!
With the Father and the Spirit,
While eternal ages run.
Amen.

Hymnus {Doxology: Nat}
Iam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.
Linguam refrénans témperet,
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,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.
Iesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.

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.

Martyrologium (anticip.)
On the morrow we keep the feast of the holy Confessor Wilfred, Bishop of York.
October 12th 2018, the 3rd day of the Moon, were born into the better life:
At Rome, the holy martyrs Evagrius, Priscian, and their Companions.
At Ravenna, on the Laurentine Way, (in the persecution under the Emperor Diocletian,) the holy martyr Edistius.
In Lycia, under the same Emperor Diocletian, the holy martyr Domnina.
In Africa are commemorated four thousand nine hundred and sixty-six holy martyrs and Confessors in the Vandal persecution under the Arian King Hunneric. Some of these were Bishops of the Churches of God, and some of them Priests and Deacons, but with them were joined multitudes of the other faithful. For defending the Catholic truth they were driven into exile in the terrible desert many of them were cruelly taken by the Moors, goaded to run at the point of the spear, and beaten with stones others had their feet tied together, and were dragged like corpses through hard and sharp places, until all their limbs were mangled and then were tortured to death in diverse ways. Pre-eminent among them were the Bishops Felix and Cyprian.
At Celeia, in Pannonia, (in the fourth century,) holy Maximilian, Bishop (of Lorch.)
At Milan, (in the third century,) the holy Bishop Monas. During the discussion as to the choosing of a Bishop there, a light from heaven shone upon him, and through that wondrous sign he was made Bishop of that church.
At Verona, holy Salvin, Bishop.
In Syria, the holy Priest and Confessor Eustace.
At Ascoli, in the March of Ancona, (in the year 1604,) the holy Confessor Seraphim, of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchins, who was marked by holiness of life and by lowliness, and whose name the Supreme Pontiff Clement XIII enrolled with those of the Saints.
℣. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.

Hymnus
Prima stropha sequentis hymni dicitur flexis genibus.
Ave maris stella,
Dei Mater alma,
Atque semper Virgo,
Felix cæli porta.
Sumens illud Ave
Gabriélis ore,
Funda nos in pace,
Mutans Hevæ nomen.
Solve vincla reis,
Profer lumen cæcis,
Mala nostra pelle,
Bona cuncta posce.
Monstra te esse matrem,
Sumat per te preces,
Qui pro nobis natus,
Tulit esse tuus.
Virgo singuláris,
Inter omnes mitis,
Nos culpis solútos
Mites fac et castos.
Vitam præsta puram,
Iter para tutum,
Ut vidéntes Iesum,
Semper collætémur.

Chapter Hymn Verse {from the Proper of Saints}
Sir 24:12-13
He that made me, rested in my tabernacle, and he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect.
℟. 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.
℣. Blessed art thou among women.
℟. And blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Psalm 90 [2]
90:1 He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, * shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
90:2 He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: * my God, in him will I trust.
90:3 For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: * and from the sharp word.
90:4 He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: * and under his wings thou shalt trust.
90:5 His truth shall compass thee with a shield: * thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night.
90:6 Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: * of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
90:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: * but it shall not come nigh thee.
90:8 But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: * and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
90:9 Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: * thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
90:10 There shall no evil come to thee: * nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
90:11 For he hath given his angels charge over thee; * to keep thee in all thy ways.
90:12 In their hands they shall bear thee up: * lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
90:13 Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: * and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
90:14 Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: * I will protect him because he hath known my name.
90:15 He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: * I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
90:16 I will fill him with length of days; * and I will shew him my salvation.
℣. 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.

Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray

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.
