THE LESSON

Ecclesiasticus 24.9 – 12

He created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail.  In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion.  Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power.  And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord’s inheritance.

Yet, made man for our sake, hidden he lies in thy womb.

Alleluia.
After childbearing, thou remainedst a pure Virgin:
Mother of God, intercede for us.
All:        Alleluia.
