Introit: By Sedulius

    Hail, holy Mother, thou who didst bring forth the King who ruleth heaven and earth for ever and ever. Ps. My heart hath uttered a good word : I speak my works to the King. ℣. Glory be to the Father.

Collect

    We beseech Thee, O Lord, bestow on Thy servants the gift of Thy heavenly grace; that as the childbearing of the blessed Virgin was the beginning of our salvation, so the solemn festival of her Visitation may bring us an increase of peace. Through.

Commemoration of Sts. Processus and Martinian:

Collect

    O God, who didst surround us and protect us by the glorious confession of Thy holy martyrs Processus and Martinian; grant us both to profit by their example and to rejoice in their intercession. Through our Lord.

Epistle: Canticle of Canticles ii. 8-14

    Lesson from the Canticle of Canticles. Behold he cometh, leaping upon the mountains, skipping over the hills. My beloved is like a roe or a young hart. Behold he standeth behind our wall; looking though the windows, looking through the lattices. Behold my beloved speaketh to me: Arise, make haste, my love, my dove, my beautiful one; and come. For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come, the voice of the turtle is heard in our land: the fig-tree hath put forth her green figs, the vines in flower yield their sweet smell. Arise, my love, my beautiful one; and come. My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall, show me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ear; for thy voice is sweet, and thy face comely.

Gradual

    Blessed and venerable art thou, O Virgin Mary: without blemish to thy purity, thou wast made the mother of the Saviour. ℣. O Virgin Mother of God, He whom the whole world cannot contain, being made man, enclosed Himself in thy womb.

Alleluia

    Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. Happy art thou, O holy Virgin Mary and most worthy of all praise: for out of thee hath risen the sun of justice, Christ our God. Alleluia.

Gospel: Luke i. 39-47

    + The continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Luke. At that time Mary rising up went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda: and she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb: and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: and she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord. And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.

Offertory

    Blessed art thou, O Virgin Mary: the Creator of all things thou didst bear; Him who made thee thou didst bring forth; and a Virgin evermore dost thou remain.

Secret

    May the humanity of Thy only-begotten Son be our help, O Lord, that Jesus Christ our Lord, who when born of a virgin did not diminish but did consecrate the integrity of His mother, may on this solemnity of her Visitation, deliver us from our sins, and make our oblation acceptable to Thee. Who with Thee liveth.

Commemoration of Sts. Processus and Martinian:

Secret

    Do Thou, O Lord, graciously accept our prayers and offerings, and may the intercession of Thy saints, help to make what we bring, worthy in Thy sight. Through our Lord.

Postcommunion

    We have received, O Lord, the sacraments of this yearly celebration, grant, we beseech Thee, that they may confer upon us remedies for this life and for all eternity. Through our Lord.

Commemoration of Sts. Processus and Martinian:

Postcommunion

    Refreshed by the offering of Thy sacred Body and Thy precious Blood, O Lord our God; we humbly implore Thee that the divine mysteries which we have devoutly celebrated, may ensure our redemption. Through the same our Lord.
