Hail, holy Mother, who in childbirth brought forth the King Who rules heaven and earth world without end.
Ps 44:2
My heart overflows with a goodly theme; as I sing my ode to the King.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Hail, holy Mother, who in childbirth brought forth the King Who rules heaven and earth world without end.
Collect
Grant
us, Your servants, O Lord God, we beseech You, to enjoy lasting health
of mind and body; and by the intercession of glorious and blessed Mary,
ever virgin, may we be delivered from present sorrow and partake to the
full of eternal happiness.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son
our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy
Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
Commemoration of SAINTS PROTUS AND HYACINTH
According to
tradition, Protus and Hyacinth were brothers, and slaves in the
household of St. Basilla at Rome. They were burned alive around 257,
during the persecution of Valerian and Gallian. The unshakable fortitude
of the martyrs throughout the Christian ages should serve as a
stimulating reproach to us when we are tempted to lose patience under
the most ordinary trials.
May the glorious profession of faith of
Your blessed martyrs Protus and Hyacinth strengthen us, O Lord, and may
the power of their intercession shield us. Through our Lord . . .
Lesson
Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus
Ecclus 24:14-16
Before all
ages, in the beginning, He created me, and through all ages I shall not
cease to be. In the holy Tent I ministered before Him, and in Sion I
fixed my abode. Thus in the chosen city He has given me rest, in
Jerusalem is my domain. I have struck root among the glorious people, in
the portion of my God, His heritage, and my abode is in the full
assembly of Saints.
Gradual
Rejoice, O Virgin Mary; alone you have put an end to all heresies.
V. You who believed the words of the Archangel Gabriel.
V. Still a virgin, you brought forth God and man; and after childbirth you remained an inviolate virgin.
V. O Mother of God, intercede for us.
GOSPEL

and the breasts that nursed You. But He said, Rather, blessed are they
who hear the word of God and keep it.
