Introitus
Sedulius
Gaudeamus omnes in Domino diem festum celebrantes sub honore beatae Mariæ Virginis: de cujus assumptione qaudent, angeli, et collaudant Filium Dei.
Ps 44:2
Eructávit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego ópera mea Regi.
℣. Glória Patri …

Collect
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
O God, Who honored the Order of Carmel with the special title of the most blessed Mary, ever Virgin, Your mother, graciously grant, that we who this day honor her commemoration with solemn rites, defended by her care, may be found worthy to attain everlasting happiness.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
℟. Amen

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 11:27-28
At that time, as Jesus spoke unto the multitudes, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice and said unto Him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee. And so on.

Homily by the Venerable Bede
Lib 4 Cap 49 in Luke 11
It is plain that this was a woman of great earnestness and faith. The Scribes and Pharisees were at once tempting and blaspheming the Lord, but this woman so clearly grasped His Incarnation, and so bravely confessed the same, that she confounded both the lies of the great men who were present, and the faithlessness of the heretics who were yet to come. Even as the Jews then, blaspheming the works of the Holy Ghost, denied the very Son of God Who is of one substance with the Father, so afterwards did the heretics, by denying that Mary always a Virgin did, under the operation of the Holy Ghost, supply flesh to the Only begotten One of God, when He was about being born in an human Body, even so, I say, did the heretics deny that the Son of Man should be called a true Son, Who is of one substance with His Mother.

Post Communion
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
May the venerable intercession of Your glorious Mother Mary, ever Virgin, help us, O Lord, that those whom she has ladened with lasting benefits may be delivered from all dangers and be made of one mind by her godliness.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
℟. Amen
