who shall stand before the face of His cold?
He sendeth forth His word and melteth them; His wind bloweth, and the waters flow.
Who declareth His word unto Jacob: His justice and judgment to Israel.
He hath not done so to every nation; nor hath He shown them His judgments.
Glory be, etc.
From Candlemas until Advent
Ant. Beautiful art thou, and sweet in thy delight, O holy Mother of God.
During Advent

Lord, be it done unto me according to thy word.
From Christmas until Candlemas
Ant. Behold, Mary hath brought us forth a Saviour, Whom when John saw, he cried aloud, saying: Behold the Lamb of God! Behold Him Who taketh away the sins of the world, Alleluia.
