Introit Rorate, caeli Isaiah 45:8; Psalm 19 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness:

let the earth open, and bring forth a Saviour. Alleluia. Alleluia. (Ps.) The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament showeth his handy-work.

(Bow) Glory be to the Father… (Rise) As it was in the beginning… Drop down, ye heavens…

V. In the Name of the + Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. R. Amen.

Organ Voluntary

Processional Hymn: “Hail, This Festival Day! Salve feste dies

Collect V. Peace be with you. R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray. O God, who, through the mystery of the Word made flesh, didst in thy mercy sanctify the house of the Blessed Virgin Mary: do thou grant that we may keep aloof from the tabernacle of sinners, and become worthy indwellers of thy house; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

The Epistle: Galatians 4:4-7 When the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

The Lesson: Isaiah 7:10-14; 8:10 In those days, the Lord spoke to Ahaz, "Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven." But Ahaz said, 'I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test." And he said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a Virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call his Name Immanuel [God is with us]." Take counsel together, but it will come to nought; speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us. V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God.

The Psalm: Luke 1:46-55 [Magnificat anima mea Dominum] Chant, William Jacobs (1796-1872)

My soul doth | magnify · the | Lord: and my spirit hath re- | joiced in | God my | Savior. For He | hath re- | garded the | lowly · ness of | His hand- | maiden.

For be- | hold from | henceforth all gener- | ations · shall | call me | blessèd. For He that is mighty hath | magni · fied | me: and | holy | is His | Name.

And His mercy is on | them that | fear Him throughout | all | ge-ner- | ations. He hath showed strength | with His | arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagi- | na - tion | of their | hearts.

He hath put down the mighty | from their | seat, and hath ex- | alted · the | humble · and | meek. He hath filled the |hungry · with | good things, and the rich He hath | sent | empty · a- | way.

He re- |membering · His |mercy hath | holpen · His | ser - vant | Israel, As He promised | to our | forefathers, Abraham | and His | seed for | ever.

The Holy Gospel: St. Matthew 1:18-23 V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.

V. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew. R. Glory be to thee, O Lord.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came to-gether she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit; and her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to send her away quietly. But as he considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel" (which means, God with us). V. The Gospel of the Lord. R. Praise be to thee, O Christ.

The Homily

Gospel Acclamation Et ingressus Angelus Luke 1:28 Alleluia. Alleluia.

And the Angel came in unto her, and said: Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

Alleluia.

Communion Anthem: Ave verum William Byrd (c.1539-1623)

Ave verum corpus, natum de Maria Virgine: Vere passum, immolatum in cruce pro homine: Cujus latus perforatum, unda fluxit sanguine: Esto nobis praegustanum in mortis examine.

O dulcis, O pie, O Jesu Fili Mariae, Miserere mei. Amen.

All hail, O true Body, of the blessed Virgin born: Which in anguish to redeem us did’st suffer upon the cross;

from whose side, when pierced by spear, there came forth both water and blood. Be to us at our last hour the source of consolation.

O loving, O holy, O Jesu, thou Son of Mary, O have mercy on me. Amen. ~ Fourteenth-century hymn, Pope Innocent VI (d. 1342)

The Deacon begins the procession to the Shrine:

V. Let us proceed in peace. R. In the name of Christ. Amen.

In place of the usual recessional hymn, the Sacred Liturgy concludes this day on our Patronal Feast with a procession to the outdoor Shrine and the Novena to Our Lady of Walsingham.

Station Prayers

Ancient Walsingham Prayer

O alone of all women, Mother and Virgin, Mother most happy, Virgin most pure, now we sinful as we are, come to see thee who are all pure, we salute thee, we honour thee as how we may with our humble offerings; may thy Son grant us, that imitating thy most holy manners, we also, by the grace of the Holy Ghost may deserve spiritually to conceive the Lord Jesus in our inmost soul, and once conceived never to lose him. Amen.

Prayer to Our Lady of Walsingham

O blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Walsingham, Mother of God and our most gentle Queen and Mother, look down in mercy upon us, our parish, our country, our homes, and our families, and upon all who greatly hope and trust in your prayers. By you it was that Jesus, our Savior and hope, was given to the world; and he has given you to us that we may hope still more. Plead for us your children, whom you did receive and accept at the foot of the Cross, O sorrowful Mother. Intercede for our separated brethren, that with us in the one true fold they may be united to the Chief Shepherd, the Vicar of your Son. Pray for us all, dear Mother, that by faith fruitful in good works we all may be made worthy to see and praise God, together with you in our heavenly home. Amen.

The Angelus

We beseech thee, O LORD, pour thy grace into our hearts: that as we have known the incarnation of thy Son Jesus Christ by the mes-sage of an angel, so by his cross and passion + we may be brought unto the glory of his resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
