ENTRANCE ANTIPHON
Let us all rejoice in the Lord,
celebrating a feast in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
for whose solemnity the angels rejoice
and join in praising the Son of God.

Ps. 44, 2 My heart overflows with a goodly theme;

as I sing my ode to the king.

Glory be to the Father. Let us all rejoice.

GRADUAL
Blessed and venerable are you, O Virgin Mary;
for without stain to your virginity,
you became the Mother of the Savior.

he whom the whole world cannot contain,

Alleluia, alleluia.
V. Mother of God, the life that had been lost was given us
through you, who received your offspring from heaven and brought
forth a Savior
into the world. Alleluia, alleluia.
