At I Vespers · Magnificat
God, * for his great love wherewith he loved us, hath sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, alleluia.
Versicle at Vespers
℣.The Lord declared, alleluia.
℟.His salvation, alleluia.
At Lauds · Benedictus
A great and wondrous mystery * is made known to us this day; a new thing is wrought in both natures: God is made man; that which was, remained, and that which was not, he assumed; suffering no confusion, nor yet division.
Versicle at Lauds
℣.The Word was made flesh, alleluia.
℟.And dwelt among us, alleluia.
At II Vespers · Magnificat
Great * is the mystery of the inheritance: the womb of her that knew not man is become the temple of the Godhead: by taking flesh of her, he was no way defiled: all the nations shall gather, saying: Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Collect
O God, who by the fruitful virginity of blessed Mary hast bestowed upon mankind the reward of eternal salvation: grant, we beseech thee, that we may know the help of her intercession, through whom we have been accounted worthy to receive the Author of our life, Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
℟.Amen.
