Double of the Second Class – White or Marian Blue
This day is a day of celebration of the Holy Rosary. Our Lady gave the rosary in a vision to Saint Dominic as a tool against the heretics. Other visions have occurred, including to the children at Fatima. The name of this feast, Our Lady of Victory, comes from the wars of the Holy League. Pope Pius V organized a coalition to rescue Christians from the Islamists, which left on October 7th. At the Battle of Lepanto, the Christians were at a great disadvantage, so Pius V asked the faithful to pray the rosary. The battle was a victory. The Ottoman navy was stopped, and the Islamists were denied access to the Americas.
Saint Mark, Pope & Confessor, and Saints Sergius, Bacchus, Marcellus, and Apelejus, Martyrs are commemorated at this feast.
INTROIT
Let us all rejoice in the Lord, celebrating a festival day in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, on whose solemnity the Angels rejoice, and give praise to the Son of God. Ps. 44.2. My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak of my works to the King. V. Glory be.
COLLECT
O God, whose only-begotten Son by his life, death, and resurrection, purchased for us the rewards of eternal life: grant, we beseech thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise. Through the same.
Look forgivingly on thy flock, eternal Shepherd, and keep it in thy constant protection, through the intercession of blessed Mark, thy Pope whom thou didst constitute chief shepherd of the whole Church. Through.
| We pray thee, O Lord : that the abundant merits of thy holy Martyrs, Sergius, Bacchus, Marcellus, and Apulejus, may at all times in such wise succor and defend us ; that we may thereby ever be fervent in our love toward thee. Through. |

EPISTLE Prov. 8.22-24, 32-35
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning. I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made. The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived: neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out: Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors. He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord.
GRADUAL Ps. 44.5,11,12
Because of truth, and meekness, and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
Hearken, O daughter, and see, and inline thine ear, for the King hath greatly desired thy beauty.
Alleluia, alleluia. V. The solemn festival of the glorious Virgin Mary of the seed of Abraham, sprung from the tribe of Juda, of David's royal race. Alleluia.
+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke (1.26-38)
At that time 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 shall 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 work shall be impossible with God. And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word. Creed.
