Antiphon.  Who is she that comes forth as the
morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army
set in battle array?

My soul glorifies the Lord,*

Henceforth all ages will call me blessed.

Holy his name.

Antiphon.  Who is she that comes forth as the
morning rising, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army
set in battle array?

Leader:

Let us pray.  O Lord Jesus Christ, our Mediator
with the Father, who has been pleased to appoint the Most Blessed
Virgin, your Mother, to be our Mother also, mercifully grant that
whoever comes to you seeking your favors may rejoice to receive all of
them through her. Amen.
