The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Anthem, Versicle, and Prayer in Honor of the Immaculate Conception
ANT. This is the rod in which was neither knot of original sin, nor rind of actual guilt.
- V. In thy conception, O Virgin! thou wast immaculate.
- R. Pray for us to the Father, Whose Son thou didst bring forth.
Let us Pray
O GOD, Who, by the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin, didst prepare a worthy habitation for Thy Son, we beseech Thee, that as by the foreseen death of that same Son, Thou didst preserve her from all stain, so too thou wouldst permit us, purified through her intercession, to come unto Thee. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
(Ind. of 100 days, every time. — Pius IX. March 31, 1876.)
