LATIN

IntroitANTIPHON Salve, sancta parens, enixa puerperal Regem: qui caelum, terramque regit in s?cula sæculórum.
VersicleEructavit cor meum verbum bonum:
ResponseDico ego opera mea Regi.
VersicleGloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
ResponseSicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper et in s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) Salve, sancta parens, enixa puerperal Regem: qui caelum, terramque regit in s?cula sæculórum. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)
CollectFámulis tuis, quæsumus, Dómine, coeléstis grátiæ munus impertíre: ut, quibus beátæ Vírginis partus éxstitit salútis exórdium; Nativitátis ejus votíva solémnitas, pacis tríbuat increméntum. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum: Qui vivit et regnat Tecum in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia s?cula sæculórum.
ResponseAmen. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)
LessonLectio libri Sapientiæ.
Dóminus possédit me in inítio viárum suárum, ántequam quidquam fáceret a princípio. Ab ætérno ordináta sum, et ex antíquis, ántequam terra fíeret. Nondum erant abyssi, et ego jam concépta eram: necdum fontes aquárum erúperant: necdum montes gravi mole constíterant: ante colles ego parturiébar. Adhuc terram non fécerat, et flúmina et cárdines orbis terræ. Quando præparábat coelos, áderam: quando certa lege, et gyro vallábat abyssos: quando æthera firmábat sursum, et librábat fontes aquárum: quando circúmdabat mari términum suum, et legem ponébat aquis ne transírent fines suos: quando appendébat fundaménta terræ. Cum eo eram cuncta compónens: et dilectábar per síngulos dies, ludens coram eo omni témpore, ludens in orbe terrárum: et delíciæ meæ esse cum fíliis hóminum. Nunc ergo, fílii, audíte me: Beáti qui custódiunt vias meas. Audíte discipliniam, et estóte sapiéntes, et nolite abjícere eam. Beátus homo qui audit me, et qui vígilat ad fores meas quotídie, et obsérvat ad postes óstii mei. Qui me invéniet vitam, et háuriet salútem a Dómino.
Hæc fuit epistula.
ResponseDeo Gratias. (Book of Wisdom 8: 23-35)
GradualVersicleBenedicta et venerabilis es, Virgo Maria:
ResponseQuae sine tactu pudoris inventa es mater Salvatoris.
VersicleVirgo Dei Genitrix, quem totus non capitorbis, in tua se clausit viscera factus homo.
ResponseAlleluja, alleluja.
VersicleFelix es, sacra Virgo Maria, et omni laude digníssima: quia ex te ortus est sol justítiæ, Christus Deus noster.
ResponseAlleluja. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)

IntroitANTIPHON Hail, holy Mother, thou who didst bring forth the King who rules heaven and earth for ever and ever.
VersicleMy heart hath uttered a good word:
ResponseI speak my works to the King.
VersicleGlory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit:
ResponseAs it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
ANTIPHON (repeat) Hail, holy Mother, thou who didst bring forth the King who rules heaven and earth for ever and ever. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)
CollectImpart unto Thy servants, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the gift of Thy heavenly grace, that to us, for whom the childbearing of the Blessed Virgin was the beginning of our salvation, the votive solemnity of her nativity may give increase of peace. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ: Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)
LessonToday’s lesson is from the Book of Wisdom.
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of His ways, before He made anything, from the beginning. I was set up from eternity, and of old, before the earth was made. the depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out; the mountains with their huge bulk had not yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, not the poles of the world. When He prepared the heavens, I was there when with a certain law and compass He enclosed the depths; when He established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters; when He compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits; when He balanced the foundations of the earth; I was with Him, forming all things, and was delighted every day, playing before Him at all times, playing in the world: and my delight is to be with the children of men. Now, therefore, ye children, hear me: blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors. He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord.
Here ends today’s lesson.
ResponseThanks be to God. (Book of Wisdom 8: 23-35)
GradualVersicleThou art blessed and venerable, O Virgin Mary,
Responsewho with purity unstained was found to be the Mother of our Savior.
VersicleVirgin Mother of God, He whom the whole world was unable to contain enclosed Himself in thy womb, being made man.
ResponseAlleluia, alleluia.
VersicleHappy art thou, O sacred Virgin Mary, and most worthy of all praise, for out of thee hath risen the sun of justice, Christ, our God.
ResponseAlleluia. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)
GospelThe Lord be with you.
ResponseAnd with your spirit.
Cross The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
ResponseGlory CrossCrossCross to Thee, O Lord

ResponsePraise be to Thee, O Christ. (Matthew 1: 1-16)
OffertoryBlessed art thou, O Virgin Mary, who didst bear the Creator of all things; thou didst bring forth Him Who made thee, and remainest a virgin forever. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)
SecretLet the humanity of Thine only-begotten Son succor us, O Lord, that He, Who, born of a virgin, did not diminish, but consecrated, the virginity of His mother, may, on this solemn festival of her visitation, deliver us from our sins and make our offering acceptable, even Jesus Christ our Lord, Who with Thee livest and reignest, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)
Preface
(BVM)
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, on the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the over-shadowing of the Holy Spirit, 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 them we entreat Thee, that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted, while we say with lowly praise... Holy, Holy, Holy...
Communio VerseBlessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the Eternal Father. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)
Post-Communion PrayerWe have received, O Lord, the votive sacrament of this annual solemnity; grant, beseech Thee, that it may afford us a remedy both for temporal and for eternal life. Through same Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
ResponseAmen. (Coelius Sedulius; Psalm 44: 2)

About the information (below)

This information applies to the Diocese of Texas. If you are outside the diocese, the details
you see here are fairly standard throughout the western church. However, your bishop's rules may vary.
Diversity it worderful. These rules point to diversity. Neither we nor your bishop is "right" or "correct" ot "better."

Note on candles

The listing calendar items shows how many additional candles. Here are the rules for the base set of candles.

Use 2for priest celebrant, no incense
Use 4for priest celebrant, no incense
Use 6for any celebrant using incense
Add 1 if the celebrant is the Ordinary

Note on liturgical colors

Parishes and priests only need two colors: white and purple. White can substitute for every color, except purple.

WHITEUsed at Christmas, Easter, and other joyful celebrations. May be used at funerals, ordinations.
REDDays of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and memorials of martyrs.
ADVENT PURPLEThis is blueish purple. Use during advent. If you cannot afford both purple hues, use whichever you have.
LENT PURPLEThis is red-purple. You may use lent purple at funerals, but that tradition is basically dead (so to speak).
GREENGreen is the "none of the above" color. If you don't have specific instructions on color, then the color is green.
ROSEUse on Gaudete and Laetare Sundays
BLUEAny Mass for/about the Blessed Virgin Mary
BLACKGood Friday and Funerals.
GOLDAt a mammoth occasion (eg., ordination, Christmas, Easter, etc.), gold is fine.
SILVERWe don't use silver or any other color not mentioned.
