DEVOTIONS
TO
THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY.
LITTLE OFFICE OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
[The text, from which the present translation has been made, is an exact copy of the office as published by authority at Rome, in 1838. Vide Calette Palmctum, page 243.]
AT MATINS.
Come, my lips, and wide proclaim
The blessed Virgin's spotless fame.
V. O Lady, make speed to befriend me.
R. From the hands of the enemy mightily defend me.
V. Glory be to the Father, &c. Alleluia.
From Septuagesima to Easter, instead of Alleluia, is said:
Praise be to thee, O Lord, King of everlasting glory.
