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 Proprio Sanctorum}
Surge! Iam terris fera bruma cessit,
Ridet in pratis decus omne florum,
Alma quæ Vitæ Génetrix fuísti,
Surge, María!

Lílium fulgens velut in rubéto,
Mortis auctórem teris una, carpens
Sóntibus fructum pátribus negátum
Arbore vitæ.

Arca non putri fabricáta ligno
Manna tu servas, fluit unde virtus,
Ipsa qua surgent animáta rursus
Ossa sepúlcris.

Prǽsidis mentis dócilis minístra,
Haud caro tabo pátitur resólvi;
Spíritus imo sine fine consors
Tendit ad astra.

Surge! Dilécto pete nixa cælum,
Sume consértum diadéma stellis,
Teque natórum récinens beátam
Excipe carmen.

Laus sit excélsæ Tríadi perénnis,
Quæ tibi, Virgo, tríbuit corónam,
Atque regínam statuítque nostram
Próvida matrem.
Amen.
Hymn {from the Proper of Saints}
Arise! the cold blasts from earth have receded,
And in the field are lovely flowers smiling,
For thee, O gracious Mother, bearer of Life,
Arise, O Mary!

Beautiful Lily blooming 'mid the brambles,
Death's haughty author thou alone didst conquer,
Plucking life-giving tree of fruits the fathers
By sin did not taste.

Ark of sweet wood not destined for ruin,
Holding the manna, whence springeth forth the power
Summoning forth the bones again arisen
From depths of the tomb.

Thou handmaid, faithful to the Ruler of hearts,
Thy flesh cruel decay could never touch,
Thy soul of Spirit partaking without end,
Hath winged to the stars.

Leaning on thy beloved, arise, go heav'nward!
Accept the crown with stars for thee bedecked,
List to the hymn thy children sing on this day,
Calling thee blessed.

Praise to the Triune Godhead everlasting,
Who hath caused thee, O Virgin, to be crowned,
And providently willed our Queen thou shouldst be
Also our Mother.
Amen.

From the First Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
1 Cor 15:20-26
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, the firstfruits of them that sleep:
21 For by a man came death, and by a man the resurrection of the dead.
22 And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive.
23 But every one in his own order: the firstfruits Christ, then they that are of Christ, who have believed in his coming.
24 Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.
25 For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet.
26 And the enemy death shall be destroyed last.

Et David exsúltat eius parens, et cum eo choros ducunt Angeli, célebrant Archángeli, Virtútes gloríficant, Principátus exsúltant, Potestátes collætántur, gaudent Dominatiónes, Throni festum diem agunt, laudant Chérubim, glóriam eius prǽdicant Séraphim.

From the Sermons of St. John of Damascus.
2nd on the Falling-asleep of Blessed Mary.
This day the holy and animated Ark of the living God, which had held within it its own Maker, is borne to rest in that Temple of the Lord, which is not made with hands. David, whence it sprang, leapeth before it, and in company with him the Angels dance, the Archangels sing aloud, the Virtues ascribe glory, the Princedoms shout for joy, the Powers make merry, the Lordships rejoice, the Thrones keep holiday, the Cherubim utter praise, and the Seraphim proclaim its glory. This day the Eden of the new Adam receiveth the living garden of delight, wherein the condemnation was annulled, wherein the Tree of Life was planted, wherein our nakedness was covered.
℣. 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.

This day the stainless maiden, who had been defiled by no earthly lust, but ennobled by heavenly desires, returned not to dust, but, being herself a living heaven, took her place among the heavenly mansions. From her true life had flowed for all men, and how should she taste of death? But she yielded obedience to the law established by Him to Whom she had given birth, and, as the daughter of the old Adam, underwent the old sentence, which even her Son, Who is the very Life Itself, had not refused; but, as the Mother of the living God, she was worthily taken by Him unto Himself.

Since indeed the universal Church hath at all times and throughout the ages manifested faith in the bodily Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and since the Bishops of the whole world by an almost unanimous agreement have petitioned that this truth, which is enshrined in Sacred Scripture and deeply rooted in the souls of Christ's faithful, and is also truly in accord with other revealed truths, should be defined as a dogma of the divine and Catholic Faith, Pope Pius XII, acceding to the requests of the whole Church, decreed that this privilege of the Blessed Virgin Mary be solemnly proclaimed.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Indeed there was no happier or more joyful day for Mary, if we duly consider the happiness of both body and soul granted to her on that day. Then especially, as never before, her spirit, soul and body rejoiced wondrously in the living God and she could rightfully say: He hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden; for behold, all generations shall call me blessed; for he that is mighty hath magnified me.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. O Virgin Mary, Mother of God, blessed art thou that didst believe the Lord, for there hath been a performance of those things which were told thee from the Lord. Behold, thou art exalted over choirs of Angels.
* Plead for us with the Lord our God.
℣. Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
℟. Plead for us with the Lord our God.
℣. Iube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Cuius festum cólimus, ipsa Virgo vírginum intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.

Quare nos étiam, qui te Filiúmque tuum amámus, o ter beáta et vere augústa Mater, non póssumus huic præcláræ et incomparábili felicitáti tuæ non ex ánimo gratulári, quandóquidem quæcúmque a Dómino tibi et de te dicta sunt, tam pulchro éxitu concludúntur, ac omni ex parte tandem perficiúntur. Beáta quæ non modo credidísti, sed fídei étiam omnísque virtútis fructum et finem hódie consecúta es, et eius quem tantópere amásti atque desiderásti, iucundíssimo conspéctu nunc demum pérfrui meruísti. Emmanuélem in castéllum mundi huius intrántem, tamquam hóspitem, hóspita excepísti: hódie ab illo vicíssim in regále suum palátium excíperis, et tamquam mater tali Salomóne digna magnífice primum honoráris.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

℟. Hódie María virgo cælos ascéndit: gaudéte

Reading 11
O thrice blessed and truly august Mother, it is for this reason that we who love thee and thy Son cannot refrain from congratulating thee with all sincerity upon thine admirable and incomparable happiness, especially since everything that hath been said to thee and about thee by the Lord, is brought to a conclusion by thy beautiful passing away from this life, and in every wise hath been perfectly fulfilled. Blessed art thou who hast not only believed but hast this day attained unto the end of faith and the fruit of all virtue, and now at last hast merited to enjoy the most pleasing sight of him whom thou didst love and desire so greatly. Thyself a guest, thou didst receive Emmanuel who as a guest did enter into thee, as into a mighty fortress in this world; and today, thou in turn art received by him into his royal mansion, and magnificently welcomed with the highest honour, as befitteth one found worthy to be the Mother of such a Solomon.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Today the Virgin Mary ascends to heaven, rejoice
* Because she reigns with Christ forever.

℣. Iube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum. Amen.

Felix dies, qui tam pretiósum munus de huius mundi desérto transmísit, et ad sanctam æternámque civitátem ita perdúxit, ut commúne et incredíbile gáudium, nec minor admirátio cælítibus ómnibus crearétur. Felix dies, qui sponsæ languéntis tam ardéntibus quam diutúrnis desidériis satisfécit, ut quod quæsíverat inveníret, quod petíverat accíperet, quod exspectárat secúra possidéret, nimírum in illa summi æterníque boni perfécta visióne atque fruitióne pénitus conquiéscens. Felix dies, qui ancíllam Dómini humíllimam eo usque provéxit ac éxtulit, ut præstantíssima cæli Regína, mundíque Dómina efficerétur, et ne áltius quidem posset assúrgere, quóniam in Regni sólio sublimáta, post Christum gloriósa resédit. Felix hic planéque venerándus dies est, qui Regínam et Matrem nobis poténtem simul et cleméntem in regno Dei constítuit ac confirmávit, ut eámdem, quæ Iúdicis mater assídue manet, matrem misericórdiæ nobis favéntem, apud Christum patrocinántem, nostrǽque salútis negótia fidéliter procurántem habeámus.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Reading 12
O blessed day which sent so precious a gift from the desert of this world, and carried it to the holy and eternal city, so that universal and unheard of joy no less than admiration welled up in all the blessed in heaven. O blessed day, that fulfilled the long and ardent yearning of the gentle spouse, so that she might find what she had sought, that she might receive what she asked; that what she awaited she might possess securely, resting safely at last in that perfect vision and inward joy of the eternal and all-great Goodness. O blessed day which raised up and so highly exalted this most humble handmaiden of the Lord that she might become the most glorious Queen of Heaven and the mistress of the world. Indeed she could not have risen to more sublime heights since she had been elevated to the very Throne of the heavenly kingdom, and thus was established in glory next after Christ. O blessed and truly honourable is this day which constituted and confirmed for us a Queen and Mother who is at once powerful and merciful in the kingdom of God, that we might have her, who ever remaineth the Mother of the Judge, as a Mother of mercy protecting us and interceding for us with Christ, unceasingly watching over the work of our salvation.
℣. 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.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. For out of thee rose the Sun of righteousness, even Christ our God.

℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
In illo témpore: Repléta est Spíritu Sancto Elísabeth et exclamávit voce magna, et dixit: Benedícta tu inter mulíeres, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui. Et unde hoc mihi ut véniat mater Dómini mei ad me? Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutatiónis tuæ in áuribus meis, exsultávit in gáudio infans in útero meo. Et beáta, quæ credidísti, quóniam perficiéntur ea, quæ dicta sunt tibi a Dómino. Et ait María: Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum; et exsultávit spíritus meus in Deo salutári meo; quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ, ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes. Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est, et sanctum nomen eius, et misericórdia eius a progénie in progénies timéntibus eum.
℟. Amen

Continuation +︎ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 1:41-50
℟. Glory be to you, O Lord.
At that time, Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and cried out with a loud voice, saying, Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And how have I deserved that the Mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, the moment that the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leapt for joy. And blessed is she who has believed, because the things promised her by the Lord shall be accomplished. And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour; because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid; for, behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; because He Who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name; and His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him.
℟. Amen

Thou art worthy of praise, thou art worthy of hymns, to Thee be glory: to God the Father and the Son with the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
