Marian O Antiphon 2 September: O Maria, Mons Excelsus
3 September 2026
On 2 September, we sing the Marian O Antiphon O Maria, Mons Excelsus. Listen to the recording below.
| ANT. O Maria, mons excelsus Domini, præparatus in vertice montium, et sublimis super omnes colles! O mons Dei, mons pinguis, mons coagulatus, ad quem fluent omnes gentes, et ibunt multi populi! O mons de quo abscindetur lapis sine manibus! O Virgo sacra, veni jam et ostende te nobis. | ANT. O Mary, exalted mountain of the Lord, set apart as the peak of all mountains and lifted up over all the hills! O mountain of God, verdant mount, congealed mount towards which all the nations shall flow and many peoples shall go! O mountain from which the stone shall be cut without hands! O Holy Virgin, come now and show thyself to us. |
| ℣. Dominus faciens, et formans te. ℟. Ab utero auxiliator tuus. |
℣. The Lord is thy maker, the One That formed thee. ℟. From the womb, He has been thy helper. |
| Oremus. Dignare, Domine, corda nostra benedictionibus gratiæ tuæ prævenire ; ut cujus Nativitatem expectamus, Sanctissimæ Genitrici tuæ digne placere possimus. Qui vivis et regnas in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. |
Let us pray. Deign, O Lord, to precede our hearts with the blessings of Thy grace that we may be able to please worthily Thy most holy Mother, whose nativity we are awaiting. Thou Who livest and reignest forever and ever. Amen. |
