℣. Glória Patri, …

Collect
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
O God, Whose only-begotten Son, by His life, death and resurrection, has merited for us the grace of eternal salvation, grant, we beseech You, that, meditating on those mysteries in the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise.
Through the same Jesus Christ, thy Son, Our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.

Let us pray.
Commemoration St. Mark, Pope and Confessor
Graciously hear our supplications, O Lord, and for the sake of thy Blessed Confessor and Bishop Mark, grant to us in thy mercy both pardon and peace.
Commemoration Sts. Sergius, Bacchus, Marcellus and Apuleius, Martyrs
May the blessed merits of Your holy Martyrs, Sergius, Bacchus, Marcellus and Apuleius, continually benefit us, O Lord, and make us ever fervent in Your love.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 1:26-38
At that time the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And so on.

Homily by St. Bernard, Abbot (of Clairvaux)
Homily on Holy Mary
To commend His Own love towards us, and to bring to nought the wisdom of men, God was pleased to take flesh of a woman, albeit a virgin, that He might bring like against like, heal by opposites, pluck out the poisonous thorn, and blot out mightily the handwriting of our sin that was against us. Eve was a thorn, Mary is a rose. Eve is a thorn that pierceth, Mary is a rose that charmeth all the senses. Eve was a thorn that fixed death into all, Mary is a rose that bringeth health to all. Mary was a white rose through her virginity, and a red rose through her love. She was white in her flesh, red in her mind; white in that she followed the path of grace, red in that she trod down sin; white by the purity of her affections, red by the mortification of her body; white by her love for God, red by her compassion for her neighbour.

Post Communion
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
May the prayers of Your most holy Mother, whose Rosary we are honoring, help us, we beseech You, O Lord, that we may derive strength from the mysteries we celebrate and obtain benefit from the sacrament we have received.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
℟. Amen

Let us pray.
Commemoration St. Mark, Pope and Confessor
Grant, O Lord, we beseech thee, that thy faithful people may always joyfully honour thy saints, and ever be protected by their prayers.
Commemoration Sts. Sergius, Bacchus, Marcellus and Apuleius, Martyrs
May we be strengthened, O Lord, by the sacrament we have received, and protected through the intercession of Your holy Martyrs, Sergius, Bacchus, Marcellus and Apuleius, by heavenly armor against all the wickedness besetting us.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
