LessonToday’s lesson is from the Book of Wisdom.
From the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered before him.

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. (Luke 1: 28, 42)
Post-Communion PrayerHaving received, O Lord, these helps to our salvation, grant, we beseech Thee, that we may be ever protected by the patronage of blessed Mary ever Virgin, in whose honor we have made these offerings to Thy majesty. 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. (Luke 1: 28, 42)

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.
