Saint Tarcisius, Martyr:
Double of I Class with common Octave, White:
Introit Apoc. 12: 1
Signum magnum appáruit in cælo: múlier amícta sole, et luna sub pédibus ejus, et in cápite ejus coróna stellárum duódecim.
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
Ps. 97: 1
Cantáte Dómino cánticum novum: quia mirabília fecit. Ps. 97: 1. O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things.
The Collect
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui Immaculátam Vírginem Maríam, Fílii tui Genitrícem, córpore et ánima ad cæléstem glóriam assumpsísti: concéde, quæsumus; ut ad supérna semper inténti, ipsíus glóriæ mereámur esse consórtes. Per eúmdem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.
Almighty and everlasting God, who hast taken up into heavenly glory both the body and soul of the Mother of thy Son, the immaculate Virgin Mary: grant, we beseech thee; that we may in such wise set our affections on things above; that we may finally attain unto fellowship with her in glory. Through the same Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
The Epistle
Judith 13:22-25; 15:10
[22] Universi autem adorantes Dominum, dixerunt ad eam: Benedixit te Dominus in virtute sua, quia per te ad nihilum redegit inimicos nostros. [23] Porro Ozias princeps populi Israel dixit ad eam: Benedicta es tu, filia, a Domino Deo excelso prae omnibus mulieribus super terram. [24] Benedictus Dominus, qui creavit caelum et terram, qui te direxit in vulnera capitis principis inimicorum nostrorum: [25] quia hodie nomen tuum ita magnificavit, ut non recedat laus tua de ore hominum, qui memores fuerint virtutis Domini in aeternum, pro quibus non pepercisti animae tuae propter angustias et tribulationem generis tui, sed subvenisti ruinae ante conspectum Dei nostri. [10] Quae cum exisset ad illum, benedixerunt eam omnes una voce, dicentes: Tu gloria Jerusalem; tu laetitia Israel; tu honorificentia populi nostri:
[22] And they all adored the Lord, and said to her: The Lord hath blessed thee by his power, because by thee he hath brought our enemies to nought. [23] And Ozias the prince of the people of Israel, said to her: Blessed art thou, O daughter, by the Lord the most high God, above all women upon the earth. [24] Blessed be the Lord who made heaven and earth, who hath directed thee to the cutting off the head of the prince of our enemies. [25] Because he hath so magnified thy name this day, that thy praise shall not depart out of the mouth of men who shall be mindful of the power of the Lord for ever, for that thou hast not spared thy life, by reason of the distress and tribulation of thy people, but hast prevented our ruin in the presence of our God.
[10] And when she was come out to him, they all blessed her with one voice, saying: Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, thou art the honour of our people:

The Gospel
Luke 1: 41-50
[41] Et factum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero ejus: et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth: [42] et exclamavit voce magna, et dixit: Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. [43] Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me? [44] Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis, exsultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo. [45] Et beata, quae credidisti, quoniam perficientur ea, quae dicta sunt tibi a Domino.
[46] Et ait Maria: Magnificat anima mea Dominum: [47] et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. [48] Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae: ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes, [49] quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: et sanctum nomen ejus, [50] et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
[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: [42] And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [44] For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. [45] And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
[46] And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. [47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [48] Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [49] Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. [50] And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
The Offertory
Gen. 3: 15
Inimicítias ponam inter te et mulíerem, et semen tuum et Semen illíus.
I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed.

Ascéndat ad te, Dómine, nostræ devotiónis oblátio, et, beatíssima Vírgine María in cælum assúmpta intercedénte, corda nostra, caritátis igne succénsa, ad te júgiter adspírent. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus.
May the offering of our devotion rise up unto thee, O Lord, and by the intercession of the most blessed Virgin Mary, who hath been assumed into heaven, may our hearts, burning with the fire of charity, aspire continually to be united with thee. Through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God.

Sumptis, Dómine, salutáribus sacraméntis: da, quæsumus; ut, méritis et intercessióne beátæ Maríæ in cælum assúmptæ, ad resurrectiónis glóriam perducámur. Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sæcula sæculórum.
Having received these salutary sacraments, O Lord, we pray thee, that by the intercession and merits of the Blessed Virgin Mary assumed into heaven, we may be brought unto the glory of the Resurrection.
