The
Order of Our Lady of Ransom was founded in the Thirteenth Century by St. Peter
Nolasco (Jan. 31) and St. Raymond of Pennafort (Jan. 23), aided by King James
of Aragon. The object of the Order was to redeem Christians held in slavery by
the Mohammedans. Pope Gregory IX instituted the feast of Our Lady of Ransom and
afterwards it was extended by Pope Innocent XII to the Universal Church.

God,
Who for the ransoming from slavery of the Christians held captive by pagans
wast pleased, through the most glorious mother of Thy Son to enrich Thy Church
by a new order: grant, we beseech Thee, that she, whom we piously venerate as
the founder of so great a work, may, through her merits and prayers, deliver us
from all our sins and from the captivity of the devil. Through the same Jesus
Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost,

Lesson from the Book of Wisdom
From
the beginning, and before the world, was I created, and unto the world to come
I shall not cease to be, and in the holy dwelling place I have ministered
before him. And so I was established in Sion, and in the holy city likewise I
rested, and my power was in Jerusalem. And I took root in an honorable people,
and in the portion of y God his inheritance, ad my abode is in the full
assembly of saints.

PREFACE OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
It
is truly meet and just, right and availing unto salvation, that we should at
all times and in all places give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty
and everlasting God. That on the Festival of the blessed Virgin Mary, we should
praise, bless and proclaim Thee. For she conceived Thine only-begotten Son by
the over-shadowing of the Holy Ghost; and losing not the glory of her
virginity, gave forth to the world the everlasting light, Jesus Christ our
Lord. Through whom the angels praise Thy majesty, the Dominions worship it, and
the powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly Hosts, and the blessed
Seraphim join together in celebrating their joy. With these we pray Thee join
our voices also, while we say with lowly praise:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus
Sabaoth. Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria Tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus
qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
COMMUNION - Hebrews
9: 28
Blessed
is the womb of the Virgin Mary, which bore the Son of the Eternal Father.
POSTCOMMUNION
Lord,
grant, we beseech Thee, that, having received the aids of our salvation, we may
always and everywhere be protected by the patronage of Blessed Mary ever
virgin, in veneration of whom we have made this offering to Thy majesty.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in
the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God For ever and ever.
POSTCOMMUNION FOR EMBER SATURDAY IN MICHAELMAS
May Thy
Sacraments, O Lord, we beseech Thee, effect in us what they contain: that we may
retain in very substance what we now receive by outward sign. Through our Lord.
