MOTHER BENIGN OF OUR REDEEMING LORD 

Loving Mother of the Redeemer,
who remains the open Gateway of Heaven,
and Star of the Sea,
Give aid to a falling people
that strives to rise;
O Thou who begot thy holy Creator,
while all nature marveled,
Virgin before and after
receiving that Ave from the mouth of Gabriel,
have mercy on us sinners.

From the first Sunday of Advent until Christmas Eve

V. The Angel of the Lord brought tidings unto Mary.
R. And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Let us Pray
Pour forth we beseech Thee, O Lord, Thy grace into our hearts, 
that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ, Thy Son, was made known by the message of an Angel, may, by His Passion and Cross, be brought to the glory of His Resurrection. 
Through the same Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

From First Vespers of Christmas until the Presentation

V. After childbirth, O Virgin, thou didst remain inviolate.
R. Intercede for us, O Mother of God.

Let us Pray
O God, Who by the fruitful virginity of blessed Mary, hast given to mankind the rewards of eternal salvation: 
grant, we beseech Thee, that we may experience her intercession for us, through whom we deserved to receive the Author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son.
Amen.
