Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

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.
Amen.

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.

Oratio 2 de Dormit. B. M. V., post init.
Hódie sacra et animáta arca Dei vivéntis, quæ suum in útero concépit Creatórem, requiéscit in templo Dómini, quod nullis est exstrúctum mánibus. Et David exsúltat ejus parens, et cum eo choros ducunt Angeli, célebrant Archángeli, Virtútes gloríficant, Principátus exsúltant, Potestátes collætántur, gaudent Dominatiónes, Throni festum diem agunt, laudant Chérubim, glóriam ejus prǽdicant Séraphim. Hódie Eden novi Adam paradísum súscipit animátum, in quo solúta est condemnátio, in quo plantátum est lignum vitæ, in quo opérta fuit nostra núditas.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Ornátam monílibus fíliam Jerúsalem Dóminus concupívit:

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.
℣. Upon thy right hand did stand the Queen in a vesture of gold wrought about with diverse colours.

Hódie Virgo immaculáta, quæ nullis terrénis inquináta est afféctibus, sed cæléstibus educáta cogitatiónibus, non in terram revérsa est; sed, cum esset animátum cælum, in cæléstibus tabernáculis collocátur. Ex qua enim ómnibus vera vita manávit, quómodo illa mortem gustáret? Sed cedit legi látæ ab eo quem génuit; et, ut fília véteris Adam, véterem senténtiam súbiit (nam et ejus Fílius, qui est vita ipsa, eam non recusávit); ut autem Dei vivéntis Mater, ad illum ipsum digne assúmitur.

Reading 5
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.
℣. 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.

Heva, quæ serpentis suggestioni assensum præbuit, partus dolore, et mortis sententia damnatur, et in inferorum collocatur penetralibus. Hanc autem vere beatam, quæ Dei verbo aures præstitit, et Spiritus sancti operatione repleta est, atque ad Archangeli spiritalem salutationem, sine voluptate et virili consortio, Dei Filium concepit, et sine dolore aliquo peperit, ac totam se Deo consecravit, quonam modo mors devoraret? quomodo inferi susciperent? quomodo corruptio invaderet corpus illud, in quo vita suscepta est? Huic recta, plana, et facilis ad cælum parata est via. Si enim, Ubi ego sum, illic et minister meus erit, inquit vita et veritas Christus; quomodo non potius mater cum ipso erit?
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Beáta es, Virgo María, quæ Dóminum portásti, Creatórem mundi:

Eve, who had said yea to the proposals of the serpent, was condemned to the pains of travail and the punishment of death, and found her place in the bowels of the Netherworld. But this truly blessed being who had inclined her ears to the word of God, whose womb had been filled by the action of the Holy Ghost, who, as soon as she heard the spiritual salutation of the archangel, had conceived the Son of God without any sexual pleasure or carnal knowledge by a man, who had brought forth her Offspring without any the least pang, who had hallowed herself altogether for the service of God how was death ever to feed upon her? how was the grave ever to eat her up? how was corruption to break into that body into which Life had been welcomed? For her there was a straight, smooth, and easy way to heaven. For if Christ, Who is the Life and the Truth, hath said Where I am, there shall also My servant be how much more shall not rather His mother be with Him?
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Blessed art thou, O Virgin Mary, who hast carried the Lord, the Maker of the world.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam
Luc 10:38-42
In illo témpore: Intravit Jesus in quoddam castellum: et mulier quædam Martha nomine, excepit illum in domum suam. Et réliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustíni Epíscopi
Serm. 27 de Verb. Dom. t. 10
Sanctum Evangelium cum legeretur, audivimus a femina religiosa susceptum esse Dominum hospitio, eaque Martha vocabatur. Et cum esset ipsa occupata in cura ministrandi, soror ejus Maria sedebat ad pedes Domini, et audiebat verbum ejus. Laborabat illa, vacabat ista. Illa erogabat, hæc implebatur. Verumtamen Martha laborans multum in illa occupatione et negotio ministrandi, interpellavit Dominum: et de sorore sua conquesta est, quod eam laborantem non adjuvaret.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis:
* Proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum.
℣. Myrrha, et gutta, et cásia a vestiméntis tuis, a dómibus ebúrneis, ex quibus delectavérunt te fíliæ regum in honóre tuo.
℟. Proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May the Gospel's holy lection be our safety and protection. Amen.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 10:38-42
At that time, Jesus entered into a certain village, and a woman named Martha received Him into her house. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
27th on the Words of the Lord.
When the Holy Gospel was read, we heard how that a godly woman hospitably received the Lord into her house, and that this woman's name was Martha. And while Martha herself was cumbered about much serving, a sister of her's, called Mary, sat at the Lord's Feet, and heard His word. The one worked, the other was idle. One ministered, the other was filled. Nevertheless, Martha, working hard in the bustle and business of the serving, came to the Lord, and made complaint of her sister, because she would not help her in her work.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Grace is poured into thy lips
* Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
℣. thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces whereby kings' daughters among thy honourable women have made thee glad.
℟. Therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

℣. Jube, domne, benedícere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum cólimus, ipsa Virgo vírginum intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Dominus autem pro Maria respondit Marthæ: et ipse ejus factus est advocatus, qui judex fuerat interpellatus. Martha, inquit, circa multa es occupata, quando unum est necessarium. Maria meliorem partem elegit, quæ non auferetur ab ea. Audivimus enim et interpellationem interpellantis, et sententiam judicis. Quæ sententia interpellanti respondit, susceptam defendit. Erat enim Maria intenta dulcedini verbi Domini. Intenta erat Martha quomodo pasceret Dominum: intenta Maria quomodo pasceretur a Domino. A Martha convivium Domino parabatur, in cujus convivio Maria jam jucundabatur.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Beáta es Virgo María, Dei Génitrix, quæ credidísti Dómino: perfécta sunt in te quæ dicta sunt tibi: ecce exaltáta es super choros Angelórum:
* Intercéde pro nobis ad Dóminum, Deum nóstrum.
℣. Ave, María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum.
℟. Intercéde pro nobis ad Dóminum, Deum nóstrum.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Intercéde pro nobis ad Dóminum, Deum nóstrum.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. She whose feast-day we are keeping, Mary, blessed Maid of Maidens, be our Advocate with God. Amen.
Reading 8
But the Lord undertook to answer Martha for Mary; He, Who had been called upon to be her Judge, became her Advocate. And Jesus answered and said unto her Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things. But one thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. We have heard both the complaint, and the sentence of the Judge, the which sentence replieth to the complainant, and shieldeth her whom the Lord had received. Mary was wrapped up in the sweetness of the word of the Lord. Martha was busied how to feed the Lord, and Mary, how to be fed by the Lord. Martha was getting ready a banquet for that same Lord, at Whose banquet Mary was already revelling.
℣. 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.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. Plead for us with the Lord our God.

Lectio 9
Cum ergo María suaviter audíret verbum dulcissimum, et corde intentissimo pasceretur, interpellato Domino a soróre sua, quomodo putamus eam timuisse, ne diceret ei Dominus: Surge, et adjuva sororem tuam? Mira enim suavitate tenebatur: quæ profecto major est mentis quam ventris. Excusata est, sedit securior. Quomodo autem excusata? Attendamus, inspiciamus, perscrutemur quod possumus, ut pascamur et nos.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.

Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.
Reading 9
When, then, Mary was listening in peace and gentleness to those words of unutterable sweetness, and being feasted to the full extent of her heart's power, and Martha came and complained of her to the Lord, how must we imagine that she feared, lest the Lord should say unto her Arise, and help thy sister? She was held by that wondrous sweetness the smack whereof is felt more by the mind than by the belly. She was excused, and she sat all the safer. But on what grounds was she excused? Let us now turn our attention to this point, and thoroughly see into and examine it as far as we can, that we also may be fed.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
bow head Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow: When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow. And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.
