Purgemus omne pessimum. Præsta, Pater piissime; Patrique compar Unice; Cum spiritu Para clito, Regnans per omne sæculum. Amen. V. Dirigatur, Domine, oratio mea R. Sicut incen sum in conspectu tuo. Canticum B. Mariæ Virginis. LUCAS I. Magnificat anima mea Dominum: * That triumph of Thy saving grace. Eternal Father, lend Thine ear; Coequal Son, receive our prayer; O Holy Ghost, we cry to Thee, God! three in one eternally. Ainen. V. Let my prayer, like incense R. Ascend to Thee, O Lord. The Song of the Blessed Virgin Mary, called the Magnificat. LUKE 1. My soul doth magnify the Lord: Et exultavit spi- And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because He hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call Me blessed. For He that is mighty hath done great things to me: and holy is His name. And His mercy is from generation to generation: to them that fear Him. He hath showed might in His arm: He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart; He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich He hath sent away empty. Suscepit Israel puerum suum, *re. cordatus miseriocordiæ suæ. Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, * Abraham, et semini ejus in sæcula. Gloria Patri, etc. He hath received Israel His servant: being mindful of His mercy. As He spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, etc. After the proper Anthem and Collect, and the commemorations, if any, the celebrant adds: Dominus vobis- The Lord be with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. O SALUTARIS HOSTIA. O SALUTARIS Hos- O SAVING Victim, slain to bless, tia! Quæ cœli pandis os- Who openest heav en's bright gates to all; The attacks of many a foe oppress; Give strength in strife, and help in fall. To God, the Three in One, ascend All thanks and praise forevermore; He grant the life that shall not end, Upon the heavenly country's shore. Amen. |
