During Eastertide

Ant. O Queen of heaven, rejoice, Alleluia; for He Whom thou wast meet to bear, Alleluia, hath risen, as He said, Alleluia; pray for us to God, Alleluia.

During Advent

Ant. The Holy Ghost shall come down upon thee, Mary; fear not, thou shalt hold within thy womb the Son of God, Alleluia.

From Christmas until Candlemas

Ant. A wondrous mystery is revealed to-day: marvels are wrought. God is made man; He still remaineth what He was, and hath taken upon Him what He was not, suffering neither confusion nor division.

Lord, have mercy on us.

Christ, have mercy on us.

Lord, have mercy on us.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
