First ReadingJoel 4:12-21

From the Book of Joel

12“Let the nations arouse themselves,and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat;for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.13Put in the sickle;for the harvest is ripe.Come, tread, for the wine press is full,the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.15The sun and the moon are darkened,and the stars withdraw their shining.16The Lord will roar from Zion,and thunder from Jerusalem;and the heavens and the earth will shake;but the Lord will be a refuge to his people,and a stronghold to the children of Israel.17“So you will know that I am the Lord, your God,dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain.Then Jerusalem will be holy,and no strangers will pass through her any more.18It will happen in that day,that the mountains will drop down sweet wine,the hills will flow with milk,all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters;and a fountain will flow out from the Lord’s house,and will water the valley of Shittim.19Egypt will be a desolationand Edom will be a desolate wilderness,for the violence done to the children of Judah,because they have shed innocent blood in their land.20But Judah will be inhabited forever,and Jerusalem from generation to generation.21I will cleanse their bloodthat I have not cleansed,for the Lord dwells in Zion.”

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 97:1-2, 5-6, 11-12

1The Lord reigns!Let the earth rejoice!Let the multitude of islands be glad!2Clouds and darkness are around him.Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.6The heavens declare his righteousness.All the peoples have seen his glory.

11Light is sown for the righteous,and gladness for the upright in heart.12Be glad in the Lord, you righteous people!Give thanks to his holy Name.

GospelLuke 11:27-28

From the Gospel according to Luke

27It came to pass, as he said these things,a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him,“Blessed is the womb that bore you,and the breasts which nursed you!”

28But he said, “On the contrary,blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

EpistleLectio

Léctio libri Sapiéntiæ

Eccli 24:23-31

Ego quasi vitis fructificávi suavitátem odóris: et flores mei fructus honóris et honestátis. Ego mater pulchræ dilectiónis, et timóris, et agnitiónis, et sanctæ spei. In me grátia omnis viæ et veritátis: in me omnis spes vitæ et virtútis. Transíte ad me, omnes, qui concupíscitis me, et a generatiónibus meis implémini. Spíritus enim meus super mel dulcis, et heréditas mea super mel et favum. Memória mea in generatiónes sæculórum. Qui edunt me, adhuc esúrient: et qui bibunt me, adhuc sítient. Qui audit me, non confundétur: et qui operántur in me, non peccábunt. Qui elúcidant me, vitam ætérnam habébunt.

Lesson from the book of Ecclesiasticus

Sir 24:23-31

I bud forth delights like the vine, my blossoms become fruit fair and rich. I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all hope of life and of virtue. Come to me, all you that yearn for me, and be filled with my fruits; for my spirit is sweeter than honey, and my inheritance better to have than honey and the honeycomb. My memory is to everlasting generations. They who eat of me will hunger still, and they who drink of me will thirst for more. He who obeys me will not be put to shame, they who serve me will never fail. They who explain me shall have life everlasting.

GospelEvangelium

Sequéntia ☩ sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam

Luc 2:43-51

In illo témpore: Cum redírent, remánsit puer Jesus in Jerúsalem, et non cognovérunt paréntes ejus. Existimántes autem illum esse in comitátu, venérunt iter diei, et requirébant eum inter cognátos, et notos. Et non inveniéntes, regréssi sunt in Jerúsalem, requiréntes eum. Et factum est, post tríduum invenérunt illum in templo sedéntem in médio doctórum, audiéntem illos, et interrogántem eos. Stupébant autem omnes, qui eum audiébant, super prudéntia et respónsis ejus. Et vidéntes admiráti sunt. Et dixit mater ejus ad illum: Fili, quid fecísti nobis sic? ecce pater tuus, et ego doléntes quærebámus te. Et ait ad illos: Quid est quod me quærebátis? nesciebátis quia in his, quæ Patris mei sunt, opórtet me esse? Et ipsi non intellexérunt verbum, quod locútus est ad eos. Et descéndit cum eis, et venit Názareth: et erat súbditus illis.

Continuation ☩ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke

Luke 2:43-51

At that time, when they were returning, the Boy Jesus remained in Jerusalem, and His parents did not know it. But thinking that He was in the caravan, they had come a day’s journey before it occurred to them to look for Him among their relatives and acquaintances. And not finding Him, they returned to Jerusalem in search of Him. And it came to pass after three days, that they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who were listening to Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. And when they saw Him, they were astonished. And His Mother said to Him, Son, why have You done so to us? Behold, in sorrow Your father and I have been seeking You. And He said to them, How is it that you sought Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business? And they did not understand the word that He spoke to them. And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them.

PrefacePrefatio

de Beata Maria Virgine

Vere dignum et justum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Et te in Festivitate beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis collaudáre, benedícere et prædicáre. Quæ et Unigénitum tuum Sancti Spíritus obumbratióne concépit: et, virginitátis glória permanénte, lumen ætérnum mundo effúdit, Jesum Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem majestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti jubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:

Blessed Virgin

It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: and that we should praise and bless, and proclaim Thee, in the Feastday of the Blessed Mary, ever-Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, and the glory of her virginity still abiding, gave forth to the world the everlasting Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, and the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
