Double Major Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
White Vestments
Missa "Vidi civitatem sanctam"
From February 11 to July 16, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary came down eighteen times from heaven (Introit), and showed herself to Saint Bernadette Soubirous (Collect), in the cave of the rock at Massabielle (Gradual). On March 25, she said to the little shepherdess of 14 years of age: "I am the Immaculate Conception." Today's feast therefore recalls Mary's triumph over the serpent (Tract) which the Septuagesimal liturgy has in mind.
Like the woman St. John saw "clothed in the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars over her heart" (Epistle), the Virgin of Lourdes "is clothed in a robe and veil as white as snow, she wears a blue girdle and on her bare feet rests a golden rose", all symbolic of her virginal love. She exhorts to penance the unfortunate children of Eve who have not been like herself preserved from sin. On the day of the Annunciation she declared her name to us, to manifest that it is on account of the Incarnation (Collect) that God has vouchsafed to her "not to be tainted with the original stain." (Tract).
Remembering that Mary is "the ark of the new covenant" (Epistle), let us go with confidence to her who "full of grace' (Offertory) visits our earth to multiply in us the gifts of her riches." (Communion).
We want to thank the Friends of Our Lady of Fatima for expediting these resources of the Propers. Sources: Saint Andrew Daily Missal and the Marian Missal , 1945

EPISTLE: Apocalypse 11: 10; 12: 1, 10

Lectio libri Apocalyupsis beati Joannis Apostoli. Apertum est templum Dei in caelo : et visa est arca testamenti ejus in templo ejus, et facta sunt fuilgura, et voces, et terraemorus, et grando magna. Et signum magnum apparuit in caelo : Mulier amicta sole, et luna sub pedibus ejus et in capite ejus corona stellarum duodecim. Et audivit vocem magnam in caelo dicentem: Nunc facta est salus, et virtus et regnun Dei nostri, et potestas Christi ejus.
Deo Gratias.

Lesson from the Apocalypse of blessed John, the Apostle. And the temple of God was opened in heaven; and the ark of His testament was seen in His temple, and there were lightnings and voices, and an earthquake and great hail. And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: Now is come salvation and strength and the Kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ.
Thanks be to God.

The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come, the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. V. (Cant. 10, 14) Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come; my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall.

Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
R.Gloria tibi, Domine In illo tempore : Missus est Angelus Gabriel a Deo in civitatem Galilaeae, cui nomen Nazareth, ad virginem desponsatram viro, cuinomen erat Joseph, dee domo David, et nomen virginis Maria. Et ingressus Angelus ad eum dixit : Ave gratia plena : Dominius tecum : Benedicta tu in muleribus. Quae cum audisset, turbata est in sermone ejus, et cogitabat qualis esset ista sautatio. Et ait Angelus ei : Ne timeas, Maria, invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum : ecce concipies in utero, nomen ejus Jesum.
Laus tibi Christe.

The continuation of the holy Gospel according to Luke.
R. Glory to Thee, O Lord
In those days, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David : and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel being come in, said unto her : Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee : blessed art thou among women. Who having heard, was troubled at his saying and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said to her : Fear not, Mary, for thou has found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a Son : and thou shalt call His name Jesus.
Praise be to Christ

Dominus vobiscum.
R. Et cum spiritu tuo.
Sursum corda.
R.Habemus ad Dominum.
Gratias agamus Domino Deo nostro.
R. Dignum et justum est.
Vere dignum et justum est, aequum et salutare, nos tibi semper, et ubique gratias agree : Domine sancte, Pater Omnipotens, aeterne Deus : Et te in Conceptone immaculatia beatae Mariae semper Virginis collaudare, benedicere et praedicare. Quae et Unigenitum tuum Sancti Spiritus, obumbratione concepit ; et virginitatis gloria permanente, lumen aeternum mundo effudit, Jesus Christum Dominum nostrum, Per quen magestatem tuam laudant Angeli, adorant Domininationes, tremunt Potestates Caeli, caelorumque Virtutes, ac beata Seraphim, socia exsultatione concelebrant. Cum quibus et nostras voces, ut admitti jubeas, deprecamur supplici confessione dicentes:

The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
Lift up your hearts.
R.We have lifted them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
R. It is meet and just.
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God: and that we should praise and bless, and proclaim Thee, in the Apparition of Lourdes of the Blessed Virgin Mary, ever Virgin: Who also conceived Thine only-begotten Son by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, and the glory of her virginity still abiding, gave forth to the world the everlasting Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through Whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the Heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with them we entreat Thee, that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted, while we say in lowly praise:
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY...
