Hymnus
Veni, redémptor géntium, osténde partum Vírginis; mirétur omne sæculum: talis decet partus Deum.
Non ex viríli sémine, sed mystico spirámine Verbum Dei factum est caro fructúsque ventris flóruit.
Alvus tuméscit Vírginis, claustrum pudóris pérmanet, vexílla virtútum micant, versátur in templo Deus.
Procédat e thálamo suo, pudóris aula régia, géminæ gigas substántiæ alácris ut currat viam.
Æquális ætérno Patri, carnis tropæo cíngere, infírma nostri córporis virtúte firmans pérpeti.
Præsépe iam fulget tuum luménque nox spirat novum, quod nulla nox intérpolet fidéque iugi lúceat.
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.
To thee, O Christ, our gracious king, And to thy Father, glory be, Who with the Spirit Paraclete Forever reign in majesty.

Lord, hearken my prayer, and let my cry go to Thee.
Non abscóndas fáciem tuam a me; † in quacúmque die tríbulor, * inclína ad me aurem tuam.
Do not turn thy face away from me; on whatever day I am in tribulation, incline thy ear unto me.

De libro Isaíæ prophétæ
Audi me, Iacob et Israel quem ego vocávi; ego, ego primus et ego novíssimus. Manus mea fundávit terram, et déxtera mea expándit cælos; ego voco eos, et stant simul. Congregámini, omnes vos, et audíte: Quis de eis annuntiávit hæc? Dóminus diléxit eum; fáciet voluntátem suam in Babylóne et bráchium suum in Chaldæis. Ego, ego locútus sum et vocávi eum; addúxi eum, et próspera fuit via eius. Accédite ad me et audíte hoc: Non a princípio in abscóndito locútus sum; ex témpore, ántequam fíeret, ibi eram; et nunc Dóminus Deus misit me cum spíritu suo.
Hæc dicit Dóminus, redémptor tuus, Sanctus Israel: Ego Dóminus Deus tuus docens te utília, gubérnans te in via qua ámbulas. Utinam attendísses mandáta mea! Facta fuísset sicut flumen pax tua et iustítia tua sicut gúrgites maris; et fuísset quasi aréna semen tuum, et stirps úteri tui ut lapílli eius; non interísset et non fuísset attrítum nomen eius a fácie mea.
Super vias pascéntur, et in ómnibus cóllibus decalvátis páscua eórum; non esúrient neque sítient, et non percútiet eos æstus vel sol quia miserátor eórum reget eos et ad fontes aquárum addúcet eos. Et ponam omnes montes meos in viam, et sémitæ meæ exaltabúntur. Ecce isti de longe vénient, et ecce illi ab aquilóne et mari, et isti de terra Sinim. Laudáte, cæli, et exsúlta, terra; iubiláte, montes, laudem, quia consolátur Dóminus pópulum suum et páuperum suórum miserétur.

Ex Expositióne sancti Ambrósii epíscopi in Lucam (Lib. 2, 19-26: SC 45, 81-84)
Angelus, cum abscóndita nuntiáret, ut fides astruerétur exémplo, senióris féminæ sterilísque concéptum Vírgini Maríæ nuntiávit, ut possíbile Deo omne quod ei placúerit asséreret. Ubi audívit hoc María, non quasi incrédula de oráculo, nec quasi incérta de núntio nec quasi dúbitans de exémplo, sed quasi læta pro voto, religiósa pro offício, festína pro gáudio in montána perréxit. Quo enim iam Deo plena nisi ad superióra cum festinatióne conténderet? Nescit tarda molímina Sancti Spíritus grátia. Cito quoque advéntus Maríæ et præséntiæ domínicæ benefícia declarántur; simul enim ut audívit salutatiónem Maríæ Elísabeth, exsultávit infans in útero eius, et repléta est Spíritu Sancto.
Vide distinctiónem singulorúmque verbórum proprietátes. Vocem prior Elísabeth audívit, sed Ioánnes prior grátiam sensit: illa natúræ órdine audívit, iste exsultávit ratióne mystérii; illa Maríæ, iste Dómini sensit advéntum, fémina mulíeris et pignus pígnoris; istæ grátiam loquúntur, illi intus operántur pietatísque mystérium matérnis adoriúntur proféctibus duplicíque miráculo prophétant matres spíritu parvulórum.
Exsultávit infans, repléta est mater. Non prius mater repléta quam fílius, sed, cum fílius esset replétus Spíritu Sancto, replévit et matrem. Exsultávit Ioánnes, exsultávit et Maríæ spíritus. Exsultánte Ioánne, replétur Elísabeth, Maríam tamen non repléri Spíritu, sed spíritum eius exsultáre cognóvimus - incomprehensíbilis enim incomprehensibíliter operabátur in matre - et illa post concéptum replétur, ista ante concéptum. Beáta, inquit, quæ credidísti. Sed et vos beáti qui audístis et credidístis; quæcúmque enim credíderit ánima, et cóncipit et génerat Dei Verbum et ópera eius agnóscit. Sit in síngulis Maríæ ánima, ut magníficet Dóminum; sit in síngulis spíritus Maríæ ut exsúltet in Deo; si secúndum carnem una Mater est Christi, secúndum fidem tamen ómnium fructus est Christus, omnis enim ánima áccipit Dei Verbum, si tamen immaculáta et immúnis a vítiis intemeráto castimóniam pudóre custódiat. Quæcúmque ígitur talis esse potúerit ánima magníficat Dóminum, sicut ánima Maríæ magnificávit Dóminum et exsultávit spíritus eius in Deo salutári.
r. Germinavérunt campi erémi germen odóris Israel: quia ecce Deus noster cum virtúte véniet. * Et splendor eius cum eo. v. Ex Sion spécies decóris eius, Deus noster maniféste véniet. * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.
