Text: September 8 - Nativity of the Mother of God - O my soul, . . .

Instead of ‘Indeed, it is fitting’:

O my soul, extol the Virgin Mary*,
born of a barren womb.*
Mothers cannot be virgins,*
nor virgins be mothers;*
but in you, O Mother of God,*
both virginity and motherhood were present.*
Therefore, all the people of the earth*
unceasingly extol you.
