Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper et in s?cula sæculórum.
Amen. ANTIPHON (repeat) Salve, sancta parens, enixa puerperal Regem: qui caelum, terramque regit in s?cula sæculórum. (Sedelius; Psalm 44: 2)
| | Collect | Deus, qui beátam Maríam semper Vírginem, Spíritus Sancti habitáculum, hodiérna die in templo præsentári voluísti: præsta, quæsumus; ut, ejus intercessióne, in templo glóriæ tuæ præsentári mereámur.

| | Lesson | Lectio libri Sapientiae. Ab initio, et ante s?cula create sum, et usque ad futurum saeculum non desinam, et in habitatione sancta coram ipso ministravi. Et sic in Sion fermata sum, et in civitate sanctificata similiter requievi, et in Jerusalem potestas mea. Et radicavi in populo honorificato, et parte Dei mei haereditas illius, et in plenitudine sanctorum detention mea. Hæc fuit epistula.
Deo Gratias. (Eccles. 24. 14-16)
| | Gradual | Benedícta et venerábilis es, Virgo Maria:
Quæ sine tactu pudóris, invénta es Mater Salvatóris.
Virgo Dei Génitrix, quem totus non capit orbis, in tua se clausit viscera factus homo.
Allelúja, allelúja.
Felix es, sacra Virgo Maria, et omni laude digníssima: quia ex te ortus est sol justítiæ, Christus Deus noster.
Allelúja. (Sedelius; Psalm 44: 2)
| | Gospel | Dominus vobiscum.
Et cum spiritu tuo.

Gloria   tibi, Domine In illo témpore: Loquénte Jesu ad turbas, extóllens vocem quædum múlier de turba dixit illi: Beátus venter qui te portávit, ut úbera quæ suxisti. At ille dixit: “Quinímmo beáti qui áudiunt verbum Dei, et custódiunt illud.” Evangélium Dómini.
Laus Tibi, Christe. (Luke 11: 27-28)

ENGLISH| Introit | ANTIPHON Hail, holy Mother, thou who didst bring forth the King who rules heaven and earth for ever and ever.
My heart hath uttered a good word:
I speak my works to the King.

Amen. (Sedelius; Psalm 44: 2)
| | Lesson | Today’s lesson is from the Book of Wisdom. From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him. And so I was established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I rested, and my power was in Jerusalem. And I took root in an honorable people, and in the portion of y God his inheritance, ad my abode is in the full assembly of saints. Here ends today’s lesson.
Thanks be to God. (Eccles. 24. 14-16)
| | Gradual | Blessed and venerable art thou, O Virgin Mary,
Who without spot wast found the Mother of the Savior.
O Virgin Mother of God, He, Whom the whole world can not contain, hath shut Himself within thy womb, becoming man.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Happy art thou, O sacred Virgin Mary, and most worthy of all praise, for out of thee hath risen the sun of justice, Christ, our God.
Alleluia. (Sedelius; Psalm 44: 2)
| | Gospel | The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Luke.
Glory   to Thee, O Lord At that time, as Jesus was speaking to the multitudes, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to Him; Blessed is the womb that bore Thee, and the breasts that gave Thee suck. But He said, “Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.” The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to Thee, O Christ. (Luke 11: 27-28)
| | Offertory | Hail, Mary, full of grace: the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. (Luke 1: 28, 42)
| | Secret | Through Thy mercy, O Lord, and by the intercession of blessed Mary ever Virgin, may this oblation give us prosperity and peace both now and forever. Through Jesus Christ Thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen. (Luke 1: 28, 42)
| Preface (BVM) | 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, on the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the over-shadowing of the Holy Spirit, 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 them we entreat Thee, that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted, while we say with lowly praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...
| | Communio Verse | Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the Eternal Father. (Luke 1: 28, 42)

Through same Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen. (Luke 1: 28, 42)

About the information (below)
This information applies to the Diocese of Texas. If you are outside the diocese, the details
you see here are fairly standard throughout the western church. However, your bishop's rules may vary.
Diversity it worderful. These rules point to diversity. Neither we nor your bishop is "right" or "correct" ot "better."
Note on candles
The listing calendar items shows how many additional candles. Here are the rules for the base set of candles.
| Use 2 | for priest celebrant, no incense |
| Use 4 | for priest celebrant, no incense |
| Use 6 | for any celebrant using incense |
| Add 1 | if the celebrant is the Ordinary |
Note on liturgical colors
Parishes and priests only need two colors: white and purple. White can substitute for every color, except purple.
| WHITE | Used at Christmas, Easter, and other joyful celebrations. May be used at funerals, ordinations. |
| RED | Days of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and memorials of martyrs. |
| ADVENT PURPLE | This is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have. |
| LENT PURPLE | This is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak). |
| GREEN | Green is the "none of the above" color. If you don't have specific instructions on color, then the color is green. |
| ROSE | Use on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays |
| BLUE | Any Mass for/about the Blessed Virgin Mary |
| BLACK | Good Friday and Funerals. |
| GOLD | At a mammoth occasion (eg., ordination, Christmas, Easter, etc.), gold is fine. |
