 And after  this  our  exile show unto  us

The blessed  fruit  of  thy womb, Jesus.

O clement,  O  pious,  O  sweet Virgin Mary.

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

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

LMIGHTY, everlasting God,  Who,  by  the cooperation of  the  Holy  Ghost, didst prepare  the  body  and soul of  Mary,  glorious  Virgin and Mother,  to  become  the worthy habitation  of  Thy  Son; grant that  we  may  be  delivered from  present  evils  and from everlasting  death  by her  gracious  intercession,  in whose  commemoration  we rejoice. Through the  same Christ our  Lord.

R. Amen.

V. May  the  divine  assistance remain  always  with  us.

R. Amen.

''With regard  to  the  hymn  at  Compline,  "Te  Lucis"  it  is  to  be noted  that  the  last  verse  is  sometimes  said  thus,  altered  in  honor of  the  Incarnation,  on  feasts  of  Our  Lord  and  the  Blessed  Virgin. ''

Jesu, the  Virgin-born,  to  Thee Eternal praise  be  given,

With Father,  Spirit,  One  and Three,

Here, as  it  is  in  heaven.

Amen.
