V. Rejoice  and  be  glad, O Virgin  Mary. Alleluia.

R. For  the  Lord  hath truly risen. Alleluia.

God, Who  didst  vouchsafe to  give  joy  to  the world through  the  resurrection of  Thy  Son,  Our Lord Jesus  Christ;  grant, we beseech  Thee,  that, through His  mother,  the Virgin Mary,  we  may  obtain the  joys  of  everlasting life. Through the  same Christ our  Lord.

V. Pray  for  us,  O  holy Mother of  God.

R. That  we  may  be  made worthy of  the  promises  of Christ.

O almighty  and  everlasting God,  Who,  by  the operation of  the  Holy Ghost, didst  in  body  and in soul  prepare  Mary,  the glorious virgin  mother,  to be  a  befitting  dwelling place of  Thy  Son;  grant that we  who  rejoicingly commemorate her  may,  by her  loving  intercession,  be safeguarded  from  all  the evils that  threaten  us,  and from that  death  which  is eternal. Through the  same Christ our  Lord. R. Amen.
