Cant 2:8-14
Ecce, iste venit sáliens in móntibus, transíliens colles; símilis est diléctus meus cápreæ hinnulóque cervórum. En, ipse stat post paríetem nostrum, respíciens per fenéstras, prospíciens per cancéllos. En, diléctus meus lóquitur mihi: Surge, própera, amíca mea, colúmba mea, formósa mea, et veni. Iam enim hiems tránsiit, imber ábiit et recéssit. Flores apparuérunt in terra nostra, tempus putatiónis advénit: vox túrturis audíta est in terra nostra: ficus prótulit grossos suos: víneæ floréntes dedérunt odórem suum. Surge, amíca mea, speciósa mea, et veni: colúmba mea in foramínibus petra, in cavérna macériæ, osténde mihi fáciem tuam, sonet vox tua in áuribus meis: vox enim tua dulcis et fácies tua decóra.
℟. Deo grátias.
Lesson from the book of Canticles
Song 2:8-14
Hark! here He comes springing across the mountains, leaping across the hills. My lover is like a gazelle or a young stag. Here He stands behind our wall, gazing through the windows, peering through the lattices. My lover speaks: He says to me, Arise, make haste, My beloved, My dove, My beautiful one, and come! For see, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone. The flowers appear in our land, the time of pruning has come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. The fig tree puts forth its figs, and the vines, in bloom, give forth fragrance. Arise, My beloved, My beautiful one, and come! O My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the secret recesses of the cliff, let Me see you, let Me hear your voice, for your voice is sweet and you are lovely.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Benedícta et venerábilis es, Virgo María: quæ sine tactu pudóris invénta es Mater Salvatóris.
℣. Virgo, Dei Génetrix, quem totus non capit orbis, in tua se clausit víscera factus homo. Allelúia, allelúia.
℣. Felix es, sacra Virgo María, et omni laude digníssima: quia ex te ortus est sol iustítiæ, Christus, Deus noster. Allelúia.
Blessed and venerable are you, O Virgin Mary, who, without spot were found the Mother of the Saviour.
℣. O Virgin, Mother of God, He Whom the whole world does not contain, shut Himself within your womb, becoming Man. Alleluia, alleluia.
℣. Happy are you, O holy Virgin Mary, and most worthy of all praise; for out of you has risen the sun of justice, Christ our God. Alleluia.

℟. Glória tibi, Dómine.
Luc 1:39-47
In illo témpore: Exsúrgens María ábiit in montána cum festinatióne in civitátem Iuda: et intrávit in domum Zacharíæ et salutávit Elísabeth. Et factum est, ut audivit salutatiónem Maríæ Elísabeth, exsultávit infans in útero eius: et repléta est Spíritu Sancto Elísabeth, et exclamávit voce magna et dixit: Benedícta tu inter mulíeres, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui. Et unde hoc mihi, ut véniat Mater Dómini mei ad me? Ecce enim, ut facta est vox salutatiónis tuæ in áuribus meis, exsultávit in gáudio infans in útero meo. Et beáta, quæ credidísti, quóniam perficiéntur ea, quæ dicta sunt tibi a Dómino. Et ait María: Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum: et exsultávit spíritus meus in Deo, salutári meo.
℟. Laus tibi, Christe.
S. Per Evangélica dicta, deleántur nostra delícta.
Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to Luke
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Luke 1:39-47
At that time, Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town of Juda. And she entered the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe in her womb leapt. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and cried out with a loud voice, saying, Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And how have I deserved that the Mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, the moment that the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leapt for joy. And blessed is she who has believed, because the things promised her by the Lord shall be accomplished. And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour.
℟. Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
S. By the words of the Gospel may our sins be blotted out.
Beáta es, Virgo María, quæ ómnium portásti Creatórem: genuísti qui te fecit, et in ætérnum pérmanes Virgo.
Blessed art thou, O Virgin Mary, who didst bear the Creator of all things, thou didst bring forth who made thee, and remainest a virgin forever.
Unigéniti tui, Dómine, nobis succúrrat humánitas: ut, qui, natus de Vírgine, Matris integritátem non mínuit, sed sacrávit; in Visitatiónis eius sollémniis, nostris nos piáculis éxuens, oblatiónem nostram tibi fáciat accéptam Iesus Christus, Dóminus noster:
Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Commemoratio Ss. Processi et Martiniani Martyrum
Súscipe, Dómine, preces et múnera: quæ ut tuo sint digna conspéctu, Sanctórum tuórum précibus adiuvémur.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
May the humanity of Your only-begotten Son keep us, O Lord, for He, Who was born of a virgin did not lessen but consecrated the purity of His Mother; so, on the festival of her Visitation may Jesus Christ, our Lord, free us from our sins and make our sacrifice acceptable unto You.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen
Commemoration Ss. Processus et Martinian, Martyrs
Accept our prayers and gifts, O Lord, and, that they may be made worthy in Your sight, may Your saints help us by their prayers.
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.
de Beata Maria Virgine
Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine sancte, Pater omnípotens, ætérne Deus: Et te in Visitatióne beátæ Maríæ semper Vírginis collaudáre, benedícere et prædicáre. Quæ et Unigénitum tuum Sancti Spíritus obumbratióne concépit: et, virginitátis glória permanénte, lumen ætérnum mundo effúdit, Iesum Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Per quem maiestátem tuam laudant Angeli, adórant Dominatiónes, tremunt Potestátes. Cæli cælorúmque Virtútes ac beáta Séraphim sócia exsultatióne concélebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti iubeas, deprecámur, súpplici confessióne dicéntes:
Blessed Virgin
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, in the Visitation of the Blessed Mary, ever-Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, 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 these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
Beáta víscera Maríæ Vírginis, quæ portavérunt ætérni Patris Fílium.
Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the eternal Father.
Orémus.
Súmpsimus, Dómine, celebritátis ánnuæ votíva sacraménta: præsta, quǽsumus; ut et temporális vitæ nobis remédia prǽbeant et ætérnæ.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.

Commemoratio Ss. Processi et Martiniani Martyrum
Córporis sacri et pretiósi Sánguinis repléti libámine, quǽsumus, Dómine, Deus noster: ut, quod pia devotióne gérimus, certa redemptióne capiámus.
Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
℟. Amen.
Let us pray.
O Lord, in celebration of this yearly feast, we have partaken of the sacrament: grant, we beseech You, that it may give us help for life on earth and for life everlasting.
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.
Let us pray.
Commemoration Ss. Processus et Martinian, Martyrs
Filled with the offering of Your sacred Body and Your precious Blood, we beseech You, O Lord, our God, that what we have done in holy devotion may become an assurance of our redemption.
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.
