Hymn
Memento, Rerum Conditor
Remember, O Creator Lord,
That in the Virgin's sacred womb
You were conceived, and of her flesh
Did take our mortal nature on.
That in the Virgin's sacred womb
You were conceived, and of her flesh
Did take our mortal nature on.
Mother of grace, O Mary blessed,
To you, sweet fount of love, we fly;
Shield us through life, and take us hence
To your dear bosom when we die.
To you, sweet fount of love, we fly;
Shield us through life, and take us hence
To your dear bosom when we die.
O Jesus, born of Virgin bright,
Immortal glory be to you;
Praise to the Father infinite
And Holy Spirit, ever true.
Amen.
Immortal glory be to you;

Psalmody
Ant. You are beautiful and comely, O daughter of Jerusalem: awesome as an army arrayed for battle.
Psalm 126Unless the Lord Builds the House
Unless the Lord has built the house, in vain have its builders labored.
Unless the Lord has kept the city, he watches in vain who guards it.
It is in vain for you to rise before the light; rise up after you have been sitting, you who eat the bread of sorrow.
When he will grant sleep to his beloved, behold, the inheritance of the Lord are children.
The reward is the fruit of the womb.
Like arrows in the hand of a powerful one, so are the children of those who have been cast out.
Blessed is the man who has filled his desire from them; he will not be ashamed when he speaks to his enemies at the gate.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Psalm 127Blessed Is Everyone Who Fears the Lord
Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.
For you will eat the labor of your hands; blessed are you, and it will be well with you.
Your wife is like a fruitful vine on the sides of your house.
Your sons are like newly planted olive trees around your table.
Behold, so will the man be blessed, even the man who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion, and may you see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
And may you see the sons of your sons, peace upon Israel.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Psalm 128They Have Often Afflicted Me
Often they have fought against me from my youth; let Israel now say.
Often they have fought against me from my youth; but they could not prevail over me.
Upon my back, sinners have constructed; they have prolonged their iniquity.
The Lord is just; he will cut asunder the neck of sinners.
Let them all be confounded and turned back, who hate Zion.
Let them become like the grass on the rooftops, which withers before it is pulled up.
Of which the reaper does not fill his hand, nor he who gathers the sheaves his bosom.
And let those who pass by not say: "The blessing of the Lord be upon you; we have blessed you in the name of the Lord."
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Ant. You are beautiful and comely, O daughter of Jerusalem: awesome as an army arrayed for battle.

those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Collect
Forgive, O Lord, we ask you, the sins of your servants; so that we who cannot please you through our own actions may be saved by the pleading of the Mother of your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
