Revision as of 21:58, 20 June 2013

This text is used at all times in the Roman rite except during Advent as the Communion motet of the Votive Mass of the Blessed Virgin. A longer version of the same also forms the 7th Respond at Matins on Christmas Day. The text below in bold is common to both Communion and Respond; that in normal font belongs only to the Respond, while the Alleluia is used for the Communion during Paschal Time.

Dies sanctificatus illuxit nobis: venite gentes et adorate Dominum.

Blessed is the womb of the Virgin Mary,
that bore the son of the everlasting Father: [Alleluia]
and blessed are the breasts which gave suck to Christ the Lord:
Who as on this day did vouchsafe to be born of the Virgin for the salvation of the world.

Variant 1
A most holy day has dawned for us: come, nations, and worship the Lord.
