 R. Thanks be to God.

V. Vouchsafe that I may praise thee, O holy Virgin.

R. Grant me strength against thine enemies.

Lord, have mercy on us.

Christ, have mercy on us.

Lord, have mercy on us.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.

God, Who didst vouchsafe to choose the virgin palace of blessed Mary for Thy dwelling; grant, we beseech Thee, that we, who are shielded by her protection, may by Thy grace join with gladness in her commemoration. Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

R. Amen.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
