Let us pray.

O God,
you willed that, at the message of an angel,
your word should take flesh
in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary;
grant to your suppliant people,
that we, who believe her to be truly the Mother of God,
may be helped by her intercession with you.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.

Let us pray.

O God,
by the fruitful virginity of Blessed Mary,
you bestowed upon the human race
the rewards of eternal salvation;
grant, we beg you,
that we may feel the power of her intercession,
through whom we have been made worthy
to receive the Author of life,
our Lord Jesus Christ your Son,
who lives and reigns with you forever and ever.
R. Amen.

Let us pray.

O God, who by the Resurrection of your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
granted joy to the whole world,
grant, we beg you,
that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, his Mother,
we may attain the joys of eternal life.
Through the same Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
