Today the bonds of barrenness are loosed and a living hope is

restored, for God has heard the faithful prayers of righteous

Joachim and Anne, and he has promised the birth of the most pure

Virgin, from whom the Son of God himself is to be born as Man.

This is he who will cause the angel to greet her, ‘Hail, O Mary, full

of grace, the Lord is with you.’ Amen.

Psalm 141

O Lord, I call to you; come to me quickly; *

hear my voice when I cry to you.

Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, *

the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Set a watch before my mouth, O Lord,

and guard the door of my lips; *

let not my heart incline to any evil thing.

Let my prayer come before you like incense.

Let me not be occupied in wickedness with evildoers, *

nor eat of their choice foods.

Let the righteous smite me in friendly rebuke;

let not the oil of the unrighteous anoint my head; *

for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.

Let their rulers be overthrown in stony places, *

that they may know my words are true.

As when a ploughman turns over the earth in furrows, *

let their bones be scattered at the mouth of the grave.

But my eyes are turned to you, Lord God; *

in you I take refuge; do not strip me of my life.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, *

while I myself escape.

You who own the faith of Jesus

Sing the wonders that were done,

When the love of God the Father

O’er our sin the victory won,

When he made the Virgin Mary

Mother of his only Son.

Blessèd were the chosen people

Out of whom the Lord did come,

Blessèd was the land of promise

Fashioned for his earthly home;

But more blessèd far the Mother

She who bare him in her womb.

Wherefore let all faithful people

Tell the honour of her name,

Let the church in her foreshadowed

Part in her thanksgiving claim;

What Christ’s Mother sang in gladness

Let Christ’s people sing the same.

Praise, O Mary, praise the Father,

Praise your Saviour and your Son,

Praise the everlasting Spirit,

Who has made you ark and throne;

O’er all creatures high exalted,

Lowly praise the Three in One. Amen.

‘Sit at my right hand,

reign from Zion in the midst of your enemies.

radiant are you, even from the womb,

in the morning dew of your youth.

The Lord has sworn and will not turn back: *

‘You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.’

The king shall stand at your right hand, O Lord; *

O’er our sin the victory won,

When he made the Virgin Mary

Out of whom the Lord did come,

Fashioned for his earthly home;

But more blessèd far the Mother

She who bare him in her womb.

Wherefore let all faithful people

Tell the honour of her name,

Let the church in her foreshadowed

Part in her thanksgiving claim;

What Christ’s Mother sang in gladness

Let Christ’s people sing the same.

Praise your Saviour and your Son,

Praise the everlasting Spirit,

Who has made you ark and throne;

O’er all creatures high exalted,

Unless the Lord builds the house, *

their labour is but lost that build it.

Unless the Lord keeps the city, *

the watchmen watch in vain.

It is in vain that you rise up early and go so late to rest,

eating the bread of toil; *

for the Lord bestows honour,

and on those whom he loves.

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, *

and the fruit of the womb is his gift.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior *

are the sons of a man’s youth.

Happy the man who has his quiver full of them; *

he will not be put to shame

when he confronts his enemies at the gate.

The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus

has set us free from the law of sin and death.

All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God;

for we have received the Spirit that enables us to cry,

‘Abba, Father’.

Antiphon

The Spirit himself bears witness that we are children of God

and if God’s children, then heirs of God;

if heirs of God, then fellow-heirs with Christ;

since we suffer with him now,

that we may be glorified with him.

Antiphon

These sufferings that we now endure

are not worth comparing to the glory that shall be revealed.

For the creation waits with eager longing

for the revealing of the children of God.

Antiphon

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now,

and shall be for ever. Amen.

He has filled the hungry with good things

and the rich he has sent away empty.
