4Prayer. Deus qui salutis.

Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips.—My heart hath uttered a good word; I speak my works to the King: my tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writeth swiftly. Alleluia, alleluia.—After child-birth thou didst remain a virgin: O mother of God intercede for us. Alleluia.

12Communion. Blessed is the womb of the virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the eternal Father.
13Postcom. Hæc nos communio. May this communion, O Lord, purify us from crime, and, by the intercession of the blessed virgin Mary, mother of God, make us partakers of a heavenly remedy. Through the same, &c.
