God of the living, we praise you for the favor you have shown us through Mary and pray: God, in your wisdom, hear our prayer. 

Bless children with spiritual guidance by the example and prayers of their parents, grandparents, godparents, and teachers.  

God, in your wisdom, hear our prayer. 

Give counsel to church and government leaders. 

God, in your wisdom, hear our prayer. 

Help us to seek you with all our heart, as Mary did.  

God, in your wisdom, hear our prayer. 

Our Father . . . 

May we, who received Christ by the grace of God working through Mary, rejoice always in her loving care. Amen.
