A reading from the Book of Isaiah 7: 10-15
Et adiecit Dominus loqui ad Ahaz dicens:
Pete tibi signum a Domino Deo tuo, in profundum inferni sive in excelsum supra. Et dixit Ahaz non petam et non temptabo Dominum. Et dixit: Audite ergo domus David: Numquid parum vobis est molestos esse hominibus quia molesti estis et Deo meo? Propter hoc dabit Dominus ipse vobis signum. Ecce virgo concipiet et pariet filium et vocabitis nomen eius Emmanuhel. Butyrum et mel comedet ut sciat reprobare malum et eligere bonum.
*
And the Lord spoke again to Achaz, saying: Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God, either unto the depth of hell, or unto the height above. And Achaz said: I will not ask, and I will not tempt the Lord. And he said: Hear ye therefore, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to be grievous to men, that you are grievous to my God also? Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son and his name shall be called Emmanuel. He shall eat butter and honey, that he may know to refuse the evil, and to choose the good.

A reading from the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Luke 1: 26-38
In mense autem sexto missus est angelus Gabrihel a Deo in civitatem Galilaeae cui nomen Nazareth. Ad virginem desponsatam viro cui nomen erat Ioseph de domo David et nomen virginis Maria. Et ingressus angelus ad eam dixit: Ave gratia plena. Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus. Quae cum vidisset turbata est in sermone eius et cogitabat qualis esset ista salutatio. Et ait angelus ei: Ne timeas Maria invenisti enim gratiam apud Deum.
Ecce concipies in utero et paries filium et vocabis nomen eius Iesum. Hic erit magnus et Filius Altissimi vocabitur et dabit illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris eius. Et regnabit in domo Iacob in aeternum et regni eius non erit finis. Dixit autem Maria ad angelum: Quomodo fiet istud quoniam virum non cognosco? Et respondens angelus dixit ei: Spiritus Sanctus superveniet in te et virtus Altissimi obumbrabit tibi ideoque et quod nascetur sanctum vocabitur Filius Dei.
Et ecce Elisabeth cognata tua et ipsa concepit filium in senecta sua et hic mensis est sextus illi quae vocatur sterilis. Quia non erit inpossibile apud Deum omne verbum. Dixit autem Maria: Ecce ancilla Domini. Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. Et discessit ab illa angelus.

And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David: and the virgin’s name was Mary. And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. Who having heard, was troubled at his saying and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father: and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever. And of his kingdom there shall be no end. And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man? And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren. Because no word shall be impossible with God. And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord: be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

Rosary for the Poor Souls in Purgatory
On the Cross:
Canticum graduum de profundis clamavi ad te Domine:
Domine exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuae intendentes in vocem deprecationis meae. Si iniquitates observabis Domine:
Domine quis sustinebit? Quia apud te propitiatio est; propter legem tuam sustinui te Domine. Sustinuit anima mea in verbum eius: speravit anima mea in Domino. A custodia matutina usque ad noctem speret Israhel in Domino. Quia apud Dominum misericordia: et copiosa apud eum redemption. Et ipse redimet Israhel ex omnibus iniquitatibus eius.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. Requiescant in pace. Amen.
V. Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam.
R. Et clamor meus ad te véniat.

English version
Out of the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord:
Lord hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. If Thou, O Lord wilt mark iniquities; Lord who shall stand it? For with Thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of Thy law, I have waited for Thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on His word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord. From the morning-watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with Him plentiful redemption. And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
Eternal rest give unto them. O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. From the gate of hell, deliver their souls, O Lord. May they rest in peace. Amen.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto Thee.

O my God, I firmly believe that Thou art one God in three divine persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; I believe that Thy divine Son became man and died for our sins, and that He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the holy Catholic Church teaches, because Thou hast revealed them, Who canst neither deceive nor be deceived. Amen.
