Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts
of your faithful, and enkindle in
them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit, O Lord, and
they
shall be created.
And you shall renew the face of the
earth.
Let us pray God our Father, pour
out the gifts of your Holy Spirit on
the world. You sent the Spirit on
your Church to begin the teaching
of the gospel: now let the Spirit
continue to work in the world
through the hearts of all who
believe. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
You, O Lord, will open my lips.
And my tongue shall announce your
praise.
Incline unto my aid, O God.
O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, etc.

hail, our life, our sweetness and our
hope. To you we cry poor banished
children of Eve, to you we send up
our sighs, mourning and weeping in
this valley of tears. Turn then, O
most gracious advocate, your eyes
of mercy towards us and after this,
our exile, show us the blessed fruit
of your womb, Jesus. O clement, O
loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the
promises
of Christ.
Let us pray, O God, whose
only-begotten Son, by his life, death
and resurrection, has purchased for
us the rewards of eternal salvation;
grant, we beseech you, that
meditating upon these mysteries in
the most holy Rosary of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, we may imitate what
they contain, and obtain what they
promise. Through the same Christ
our Lord. Amen.

Antiphon. Who is she that comes
forth as the morning rising, fair as
the moon, bright as the son, terrible
as an army set in battle array?
My soul glorifies the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior.
He looks on his servant in her
lowliness; henceforth all ages will
call me blessed.
The Almighty works marvels for me.
Holy his name!
His mercy is from age to age,
on those who fear him.
He puts forth his arm in strength
and scatters the proud-hearted.
He casts the might from their thrones
and raises the lowly.
He fills the starving with good things,
sends the rich away empty.
He protects Israel, his servant,
remembering his mercy,
the mercy promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his sons for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and th the
Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end,
Amen.

that whoever comes to you seeking
your favours may rejoice to receive
all of them through her. Amen.

Confer, O Lord, on us, who serve
beneath the standard of Mary, that
fullness of faith in you and trust in
her, to which it is given to conquer
the world. Grant us a lively faith,
