Refrain
On this day, O beautiful Mother,
On this day we give thee our love.
Near thee, Madonna, fondly we hover,
Trusting thy gentle care to prove.
1.
On this day we ask to share,
Dearest Mother, thy sweet care;
Aid us ere our feet astray
Wander from thy guiding way.
2.
Queen of angels, deign to hear
Lisping children’s humble pray’r;
Young hearts gain, O Virgin pure,
Sweetly to thyself allure.

Antiphon 1 Lord, you are near us, and all your ways are true.

Psalm 119:145-152

I call with all my heart; Lord, hear me,
I will keep your statutes.
I call upon you, save me
and I will do your will.

I rise before dawn and cry for help,
I hope in your word.
My eyes watch through the night
to ponder your promise.

In your love hear my voice, O Lord;
give me life by your decrees.
Those who harm me unjustly draw near;
they are far from your law.

But you, O Lord, are close,
your commands are truth.
Long have I known that your will
is established for ever. Glory…

Psalm Prayer:Save us by the power of your hand, Father, for our enemies have ignored your words. May the fire of your word consume our sins and its brightness illumine our hearts.

Antiphon 1 Lord, you are near us, and all your ways are true.

Antiphon 2: Wisdom of God, be with me, always at work in me.

Wisdom 9:1-6,9-11

God of my fathers, Lord of mercy,
you who have made all things by your word
And in your wisdom have established man 
to rule the creatures produced by you,
To govern the world in holiness and justice, 
and to render judgment in integrity of heart:

Give me Wisdom, the attendant at your throne, 
and reject me not from among your children;
For I am your servant, the son of your handmaid, 
a man weak and short-lived 
and lacking in comprehension of judgment and of laws.

Indeed, though one be perfect among the sons of men, 
if Wisdom, who comes from you, be not with him, 
he shall be held in no esteem.

Now with you is Wisdom, who knows your works 
and was present when you made the world; 
Who understands what is pleasing in your eyes 
and what is conformable with your commands.

Send her forth from your holy heavens 
and from your glorious throne dispatch her 
That she may be with me and work with me, 
that I may know what is your pleasure.

For she knows and understands all things, 
and will guide me discreetly in my affairs 
and safeguard me by her glory.  Glory…

Antiphon 2: Wisdom of God, be with me, always at work in me.

Antiphon 3 The Lord remains faithful to his promise for ever.

Psalm 117
O praise the Lord, all you nations,
acclaim him all you peoples!

Strong is his love for us;
he is faithful for ever.

Psalm Prayer: God, our Father, may all nations and peoples praise you. May Jesus, who is called faithful and true and who lives with you eternally, possess our hearts forever, Glory…

Antiphon 3 The Lord remains faithful to his promise for ever.

OPENING PRAYER (stand)

All sit for the Liturgy of the Word.
After the Homily:

INTERCESSIONS (Universal Prayer)
To make us his new creation, Christ the Lord gave us the waters of rebirth and spread the table of his body and his word.  Let us call upon him and say:
                        Lord, renew us in your grace.
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, clothe us with compassion, kindness and humility,
  – make us want to be patient with everyone.

Teach us to be true neighbors to all in trouble and distress,
  – and so imitate you, the Good Samaritan.

May the Blessed Virgin, your Mother, pray for all those vowed to a life of virginity,
  – that they may deepen their dedication to you and to the Church.

Grant us the gift of your mercy,
  – forgive our sins and remit their punishment.

Presider:
Rejoicing in this annual celebration
of our Lenten observance,
we pray, O Lord,
that, with our hearts set on the paschal mysteries,
we may be gladdened by their full effects.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

(All are seated for the Liturgy of the Eucharist)

Lord’s Prayer
Pater noster, qui es in cælis
Sanctificétur nomen tuum
Advéniat regnum tuum
Fiat volúntas tua
Sicut in cælo et in terra
Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie
Et dimítte nobis débita nostra
Sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris
Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem
Sed libera nos a malo

After Holy Communion, all stand for the Benedictus.

BENEDICTUS/Canticle of Zachariah Benedictus – Luke 1: 68-79

Antiphon: The tax collector stood far away and would not even raise his eyes to heaven. He struck his breast and prayed: God, have mercy on me, a sinner

(While making the Sign of the Cross, we pray the following)
Blest be the God of Israel who comes to set us free

and raises up new hope for us: a Branch for David’s tree.

So have the prophets long declared that with a mighty arm

God would turn back our enemies and all who wish us harm
.
With promised mercy will God still the covenant recall,

the oath once sworn to Abraham from foes to save us all;

that we might worship without fear and offer lives of praise,

in holiness and righteousness to serve God all our days.
My child, as prophet of the Lord you will prepare the way,

to tell God’s people they are saved from sin’s eternal sway.

Then shall God’s mercy from on high shine forth and never cease

to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into peace.
 

Antiphon: The tax collector stood far away and would not even raise his eyes to heaven. He struck his breast and prayed: God, have mercy on me, a sinner

Dismissal & Final Blessing

Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiæ,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevæ,
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
