The Most Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Optional Memorial
September 12th

Helen Hull Hitchcock

Collect: From the Collection of Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary

First Reading (1st Option): Galatians 4:4-7
When the time had fully come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir.

First Reading (2nd Option): Ephesians 1:3-6
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. He destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Gospel Reading:Luke 1:39-47
In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

#	Douay-Rheims	Vulgate
39	And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.	exsurgens autem Maria in diebus illis abiit in montana cum festinatione in civitatem Iuda
40	And she entered into the house of Zachary and saluted Elizabeth.	et intravit in domum Zacchariae et salutavit Elisabeth
41	And it came to pass that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.	et factum est ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth exultavit infans in utero eius et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth
42	And she cried out with a loud voice and said: Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.	et exclamavit voce magna et dixit benedicta tu inter mulieres et benedictus fructus ventris tui
43	And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?	et unde hoc mihi ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me
44	For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.	ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis exultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo
45	And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.	et beata quae credidit quoniam perficientur ea quae dicta sunt ei a Domino
46	And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.	et ait Maria magnificat anima mea Dominum
47	And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.	et exultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo
