Collect
Sanctíssimæ Genetrícis tuæ Sponsi, quǽsumus, Dómine, méritis adjuvémur: ut, quod possibílitas nostra non óbtinet, ejus nobis intercessióne donétur:
May the merits of Your most holy Mother’s spouse help us, we beseech You, O Lord, that through his intercession we may receive what we cannot obtain by our own efforts.
Gradual (Ps 20:4-5)
Dómine, prævenísti eum in benedictiónibus dulcédinis: posuísti in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso.
O Lord, You welcomed him with goodly blessings, You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.
Vitam pétiit a te, et tribuísti ei longitúdinem diérum in sǽculum sǽculi.
He asked life of You: You gave him length of days forever and ever.
Beátus vir, qui timet Dóminum: in mandátis ejus cupit nimis.
Happy the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commands.
Potens in terra erit semen ejus: generátio rectórum benedicétur.
His posterity shall be mighty upon the earth; the upright generation shall be blessed.
Glória et divítiæ in domo ejus: et justítia ejus manet in sǽculum sǽculi.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house; his generosity shall endure forever.

Sequéntia ++ sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum
Continuation + of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Cum esset desponsáta Mater Jesu María Joseph, ántequam convenírent, invénta est in útero habens de Spíritu Sancto. Joseph autem, vir ejus, cum esset justus et nollet eam tradúcere, vóluit occúlte dimíttere eam. Hæc autem eo cogitánte, ecce, Angelus Dómini appáruit in somnis ei, dicens: Joseph, fili David, noli timére accípere Maríam cónjugem tuam: quod enim in ea natum est, de Spíritu Sancto est. Páriet autem fílium, et vocábis nomen ejus Jesum: ipse enim salvum fáciet pópulum suum a peccátis eórum.
When Mary the Mother of Jesus had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. But Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wishing to expose her to reproach, was minded to put her away privately. But while he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Do not be afraid, Joseph, son of David, to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus; for He shall save His people from their sins.
