IN NATIVITATE B. MARIAE VIRGINIS
Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
2nd Class, White
(commem. of St Adrian)

Oremus.

Fámulis tuis, quæsumus, Dómine, cæléstis grátiæ munus impertíre : ut, quibus beátæ Vírginis partus éxstitit salútis exórdium ; Nativitátis ejus votíva solémnitas pacis tríbuat increméntum. Per Dóminum.

Let us pray.

Grant unto us thy servants, we beseech thee, O Lord, the gift of thy heavenly grace, unto whom thou didst give the first sight of a Saviour as the offspring of a Blessed Virgin, and grant that this Feast, which they keep in honour of the same Virgin, may avail them unto the increase of peace. Through.
